Restrictions lifted

After many long years, Nimmitabel has had their level three water restrictions lifted. With the Lake Wallace Dam project recently completed and at capacity, the restrictions have been removed much earlier than anticipated. Although there is cause to celebrate, Council recommends Nimmitabel residents still practise water saving measures. See story on Page 6...

Despite there being considerable progress and change throughout the local business sector over recent months, the Bombala Chamber of Commerce was disappointed to be unable to form a quorum for its AGM on August 15.

Chamber Secretary, Penny Campbell said the group had been very active and successful since it formed just three years ago, with 42 members now making up the Chamber. She hopes that more local business people will step forward to keep the momentum going. “We’ve already met some of our goals, like having Bombala listed as an RV Friendly town, thanks largely to the hard work of one of our members, Elsie Wertenbach,� Mrs Campbell said. “But now is the perfect time to get on board with the council and make the most of the new opportunities that the recent amalgamation presents to our district.�

From its first meeting the Chamber had a clear set of priorities, working towards population growth and economic development, including business start-up, attracting new industry and job creation and creating unique marketing strategies for the town.

Mrs Campbell explained that most of the members in the the executive positions of the Chamber have been in the roles for three years, and have now taken on other committees and commitments, so “fresh blood� is needed to keep the group moving forward. “We are all still going to be a part of the Chamber, but we need others, whether new or existing business people, to get on board,� she said.

In the interest of encouraging more locals to become active in the Chamber, the group is aiming to make its meetings more “short and sharp�, and will be moving both the venue and the start time to suit a wider group. “Everyone is time poor these days, but the bottom line is, if we don’t get more interest, the Chamber will dissolve, and none of us wants to see that happen,� Mrs Campbell said.

The next attempt at an AGM for the Bombala Chamber of Commerce will be at the Tree of Life Papercraft shopfront on Monday evening, September 19 from 6pm, with light refreshments provided.

Those who are interested in securing the future of the Chamber are strongly urged to attend, and all business people are warmly welcomed.

Planned aerial control of the feral pigs in Kosciuszko National Park The National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is planning to undertake a routine aerial shoot operation next week targeting feral pigs in the central and northern sections of Kosciuszko National Park.

NPWS Southern Ranges Regional Manager Mick Pettitt said the routine operation is planned for the week of the 22 August, weather permitting.

“This operation is part of the region’s integrated pest management program and will see the NPWS chopper ParkAir working in Kosciuszko for three days,” said Mr Pettitt.

“Aerial shoots, carried out in conjunction with ground based control techniques such as

trapping, poisoning and shooting, are used throughout the park to control pigs, as well as deer and goats.

“Horses are not targeted as part of this program.

“This particular shoot is funded by the NSW Government’s $100 Million Saving our Species Program and aims to minimise the impact pigs have on some of the Park’s threatened native plants and animals.

“The operation will target pigs at locations where they have the potential to negatively impact threatened species such as the Corroboree Frog and Max Muellers Burr Daisy.

“It is hoped that this operation, along with a range of other

Behaviour workshops for parents Renew program finished Two local groups, made up of representatives from a range of services that support children and families, have come together to bring Sydney based author, psychologist and trainer Beth McGregor to Cooma to run workshops for both parents and workers who are wanting support and tools to address what Beth calls BIG BEHAVIOURS in children.

On Monday 29 August, at MEIS, 6 Hill Street, Cooma, Beth will present a practical two hour session designed for parents of children aged 2 – 18 years called “The Secret To Better Behaved And More Resilient Children: Emotion Coaching!”

The five step approach offered will, (when used by parents consistently), help children to have

fewer behavioural problems; be more resilient and emotionally stable; be more cooperative; develop good problem solving abilities; concentrate better at school; and get on better with siblings.

Early childhood and other workers who support children 0 – 8 and their families are being offered two workshops: either on Monday and Tuesday evenings, 29 and 30 August 6pm to 9pm; or Tuesday 9am to 3pm in the Function Room at Cooma Ex-serviceman’s Club.

All sessions for parents and workers are free. For more information about any sessions contact Cooma Lambie Street Pre-school on 64522669 or email lambiest@tpg. com.au

Influenza closes local health facilities Man dies after bus accident

CHALLENGE BELONG EXPLORE

Sir William Hudson Memorial Centre, Yallambee Lodge and Cooma Hospital have been closed by the NSW Department of Health due to an influenza outbreak. Family wishing to visit residents and patients must arrange via phone with staff so that they may be separated from the other residents.

NSW Health is urging people with flu symptoms to stay away from aged care facilities and vulnerable groups following a spike in influenza presentations to emergency departments and 22 new influenza outbreaks in residential aged care facilities in the last week.

NSW Health’s latest Influenza Report shows that more than 1950 confirmed influenza cases were reported from across the state last week.

Most cases are caused by the influenza A(H3N2) strain of the virus, which is covered by the 2016 seasonal influenza vaccine. Small children and older people tend to be more susceptible to severe influenza infection when influenza A(H3N2) is the predominant strain.

NSW Health’s Director Communicable Diseases, Dr Vicky Sheppeard, said when flu was introduced to aged care facilities it was difficult to control as flu vaccination was not as effective in the elderly.

“Nevertheless, as older people are particularly susceptible to contracting the flu it’s important they have the vaccination every year to reduce the risk of hospitalisation and death,” Dr Sheppeard said.

“So far this year we’ve had 79 outbreaks in residential aged care facilities, affecting around 942 staff and residents, with 45 associated deaths reported in elderly residents with significant underlying illness. It’s important that friends and family who may have the flu stay away from these facilities while they are unwell to help prevent the spread of the virus.”

Dr Sheppeard said all pregnant women were also

t. 02 6457 1022

strongly advised to have the influenza vaccination to reduce the health risks to themselves and their babies.

“Pregnant women who get influenza are at greater risk of developing serious complications, such as pneumonia, which may result in their hospitalisation,” Dr Sheppeard said.

“Children born to vaccinated mothers also have a reduced risk of contracting influenza in the first six months of life.”

Dr Sheppeard said while influenza presentations at emergency departments continue to increase each week, the NSW Health system was well prepared to manage the cases.

“The NSW Ministry of Health, Local Health Districts and NSW Ambulance work together to manage surges in demand and improve the transfer of care times for patients during peak periods at hospital emergency departments,” Dr Sheppeard said.

“During peak times we encourage people to seek advice from their GPs and Healthdirect, a 24 hour helpline that provides immediate health advice on line from registered nurses.”

Symptoms that indicate you have flu include: fever and chills; cough, sore throat and runny or stuffy nose; muscle aches and joint pains; headaches and fatigue; nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.

The following precautions can be taken to minimise the risk of developing influenza: • Get vaccinated every year – preferably before winter starts • Wash your hands regularly, cover coughs and sneezes, and encourage others to do so as well • Ask sick people to stay away until they are well • If you are vulnerable to severe influenza see your doctor as soon as flu symptoms start as early treatment of flu can help prevent complications

A man has died in hospital after he was hit by a bus near Kosciuszko National Park earlier this month.

About 3.30pm on Friday 5 August 2016, the 73-year-old man parked his car near the entry to the National Park at Bullocks Flat, and attempted to cross Alpine Way. A school bus travelling east along the same road hit the man. Officers from Monaro Local Area Command conducting random roadside breath testing nearby went to the assistance of

the man, before he was airlifted to The Canberra Hospital to be treated for head injuries and a fractured leg.

The male driver of the bus was not injured and taken to Cooma Hospital for mandatory testing.

The 73-year-old man died from his injuries in hospital on Thursday 18 August.

A report will be prepared for the Coroner. No further police action is expected.

Police call for witnesses to assault case Police are seeking assistance from members of the public who may have witnessed a violent assault at the corner of Chimney’s Way and Friday Drive, Thredbo.

At 8.30am Thursday 18 August, a 15 year old male from Little Bay in New South Wales was standing in an overnight parking space near the Thredbo Leisure Centre with his 15 year old male friend from Banksmeadow. The two young males were minding a parking space for one of their fathers when they became involved in a verbal altercation with five males who were driving past in a dark coloured Subaru Liberty station wagon.

After a brief verbal exchange the five males exited the vehicle and began

to assault the two 15 year olds. As a result of the assault the young male from Little Bay suffered a 3cm long laceration to the side of his head, which later required suturing. The other male suffered only minor injuries.

The five males involved in the assault are described as being aged between 20 and 25 years of age.

Anyone with information about this incident should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or use the Crime Stoppers online reporting page: https://www1.police.nsw.gov.au/.

Information you provide will be treated in the strictest of confidence. We remind people they should not report crime information via our Facebook and Twitter pages.

essential needs and maintain sufficient reserves for firefighting purposes, Snowy Monaro Regional Council, in accordance with the Local Government (Water Services) Regulation 1999, Cl 5, advises consumers to conserve water whilst under Level 0 restrictions effective from 15 August 2016.

Some tips for water conservation: • Only water plants when they need it and water gardens during the cool of the day; • Using mulch reduces evaporation; • By watering longer and less often your plants become more drought resistant; • The use of tap timers and trigger nozzle hose attachments reduces consumption; • Use a broom instead of the hose to clean paths and driveways; • Replace the washers in leaking taps; • Concealed water leaks in plumbing and water using appliances may be identified by checking your water meter; • Use dual flush toilet cisterns; • Take shorter showers; • Only use the washing machine or dishwasher when it is full.

Level 0 restrictions apply to all properties connected to and consumers drawing water from the Nimmitabel Water Supply Scheme and will apply until further notice.

For further information about the water restrictions or any other matters please contact Council on 1300 345 345.

Tourism promotion in Bombala is progressing. Our advertising campaign for Bombala is well underway and I am very excited to see that a new tourism committee is about to be formed in the Bombala region. One of the first tasks this Committee will undertake is the review of the new draft master plans of Bombala and Delegate CBDs that are about to be released for public consultation.

Once again the ANU medical students rural program came to visit us and council held civic receptions for them in both Cooma and Bombala. Rogan Corbett, Chair of the Cooma Local Representative Committee, attended on my behalf for the Cooma function where the students met with members of the community over a nibbly and a drink. I attended the function in Bombala on Wednesday at the Bombala RSL club that was organised by Di Hampshire. Again, the students had the opportunity to visit farms and generally experience our country lifestyle. This round of students are keen to get out there and start their careers – it’s great to see so many young people with so much drive and hopefully we see some of them come to the Monaro when they finish their studies!

Work crews have completed over 2.8 kilometres of works along Lower Bendoc Road from Delegate to the intersection with Haydens Bog Road.

Lower Bendoc Road is a major heavy haulage timber transport route primarily used to transport locallysourced pine and native timber, as well as timber sourced mainly from Victorian forests.

The $874,000 upgrade saw the widening of the road and strengthening of the pavement to handle current and future increases in B-Double timber truck haulage volumes. The work has the added benefit of reducing maintenance costs and making this section of road safer for all road users. “The NSW Government is determined to play its part in supporting both Council and the timber industry of the Monaro – a sustainable industry employing hundreds of people in the region,� said Member for Monaro, The Hon. John Barilaro MP. The project received a total of $854,000 in funding under the NSW

Government’s Restart NSW Fixing Country Roads fund. The program aims to provide targeted funding to local councils for road projects that will eliminate connectivity constraints on local roads in NSW and reduce the cost to market for local businesses. “The completion of the project now means there is better connectivity between this local road and the

Monaro Highway. It also means that transport of commodities to the Eden Port, saleyards, timber mills and depots will be more efficient� added Administrator, Dean Lynch.

For more information on the upgrade of Lower Bendoc Road or other road updates please visit our website or phone Council on 1300 345 345.

Snowy Monaro Regional Council has been busily working away this week organising implementation of new systems across our four offices. New software systems will be installed that will standardise technology across the region to make it easier for people with enquiries on grading schedules, development applications and rate payments.

Our Local Representative Committee members have been having regular joint meetings and advising of me of any concerns you have brought to them. The joint meetings help identify any problems that are affecting the wider community as well as addressing the local issues. One initiative of the LRC is the invitation to community members to make presentations to them, so make sure you contact your council to book a spot. We’ve had some presentations already and would love to have more so that we can address any issues that we may not know about.

The Links to Learning program partnered with Big hART who provided funding for a workshop with Singapore based international voice coach and singer songwriter, Corrinne Gibbons, who worked with the girls to write the song and prepare them for their performance.

The workshops have been part of a new project by Big hART called Project O. The project started in Cooma with Monaro High School and will aim to work with young rural women The song was written just a week before the performance and thanks to the help from Corinne and the commitment from the girls, the performance was incredibly well received. The girls performed a rehearsal of the song at the multifunction centre in front of representatives from Birdsnest and founder of the Body Image Movement Taryn Brumfitt. “How is it possible that the song was written last week?

That was amazing,�

Taryn said after hearing it for the first

time.

Taryn worked with Birdsnest to bring a screening of the ‘Embrace’ documentary to Cooma, which over 300 people attended.

She is passionate about spreading her message and excited by the opportunity to come to a regional community like Cooma. “It’s about the community coming together to embrace and be empowering.

That is, to start a connection that has the ability to change someone’s life.

Someone’s life will be changed and that’s amazing,� she said.

Taryn has taken her message around the world, including being invited to speak at the Google headquarters in San Francisco, but says the event in Cooma is especially significant. “I’ve done a lot of exciting things, but this is right up there. Coming to Cooma to be a part of this event fills my heart with joy and excitement from the good that’s going to come of this,� she said.

After the rehearsal some of the girls delivered a heartfelt message about how the program has helped their own issues with body image and thanked the organisers for all of their support.

Cooma embraces the global Body Image Movement Whether it’s wobbly bits, wrinkles or a big nose, women seem to always want to change their bodies. Last week more than 300 women came together for an emotional screening of Embrace, a documentary that looks into why women all over the world hate their bodies.

Creator of the film and founder of the Body Image Movement Taryn Brumfitt was invited by Birdsnest to host a special screening of the film with a question and answer session afterwards.

The film followed Taryn’s personal journey of accepting and embracing her own body after she lost her baby weight and entered a body building competition. To her surprise, the women she was competing against, who all had “perfect” bodies, were still making comments about what they would change. Taryn suddenly realised, “Wow, you guys think that stuff too.” Taryn let go of her negative

body image and began to focus that energy on living a positive life. Exercise became about endorphins and being in nature rather than losing weight, and she began to love food again.

After going through this experience, Taryn went on a trip across the world to speak with women about the issue of body image.

“Everywhere I went, the story was the same,” said Taryn to her Cooma audience on Wednesday night, “But there is hope. We all want change and to take back control and embrace our bodies.”

The purpose of her film is to spread a global movement of positive change.

Describing the film as “thought provoking and heart warming”, Birdsnest founder Jane Cay said that when she heard about the Body Image Movement, she immediately wanted to be involved.

“We have a saying at Birdsnest, and that is to put on your oxygen

mask,” she said, “When you’re on a plane they always tell you to put your oxygen mask on first before helping others. I think we often forget how important it is to look after ourselves first. Our little business has been growing so rapidly over the last few years, that it feels like we can finally stop, put our oxygen masks on and look outside at how we can help others.”

Removing photoshopping from their advertisements and sourcing models of a variety of body types, Birdsnest has made a commitment to support Taryn’s cause. They are also selling a range of Embrace clothing and jewellery, with money going to support the Body Image Movement. Birdsnest will also be hosting an event every Thursday evening called No Lights, No Lycra where anyone can come along and dance with the lights turned off.

This is to promote fun exercise and positive body image.

“Your body is not an ornament, it is a vehicle. Life is too short to worry about these things that don’t matter,” said Taryn, “At the end of your life, you will not be thinking about your stretch marks.”

After the screening of the film, the Monaro High School Links to Learning class performed a song they wrote themselves after being inspired by the message of the Body Image Movement.

ABC South East radio celebrates two long serving presenters A retirement and an anniversary makes it a big week for ABC South East radio.

John Leach is retiring this Friday from the ABC South East airwaves after 13 years.

John Leach has lived and breathed southeast news for decades. He’s an experienced journalist having been involved in the region’s newspaper industry before joining the ABC. John enjoys telling listeners about the many issues that make up community life on the far south coast, Monaro and in the high country.

John says he’s proud to be part of the ABC local news team that’s at the forefront of keeping people informed about events which impact on their lives, be it on the land or in the towns.

What our ABC South East team will miss the most is John’s cheerful manner. He is always willing to help others and is a strong support for all of us. He is patient and kind and his conscientiousness is infectious. He inspires others to do their best.

John has had a leading role in training the younger generation of ABC journalists, with many moving on to the wider ABC and the youth network Triple J. John says after years of 3am starts, it’s time to hang up his headphones – and travel

28 years with the ABC! From the time she could walk, Margaret Sirl has studied and loved flowers and plants. As a three year old, plants such as nasturtiums, geranium, snapdragon, chocos and rhubarb were part of her memories in

the world while he’s still young enough to do it! John will be farewelled on ABC South East at 8.30am this Friday, 26th August.

Margaret Sirl, the south east’s resident gardening specialist, is this month celebrating

the garden. Her fondest experience was of helping her Dad in their veggie patch. He taught Margaret how to plant and nurture young tender seedlings.

A search for knowledge in the plant world

has forever been a part of Margaret’s life. In later years an opportunity to teach and share that knowledge with others through TAFE, radio, demonstrations and talks, in schools and in public, have given her as much pleasure as gardening itself.

The Bega Valley in the South East of New South Wales has been Margaret’s home for most of her life.

Since 1988, Margaret has been hosting Gardening Talkback on ABC South East tackling the tricky gardening issues that her avid listeners ask on subjects as diverse as insect pests, pruning and feeding.

It is Margaret’s warm and personable manner and her love of all things gardening along with her extensive knowledge that has made her segment compulsory listening.

You can join Margaret for Gardening Talkback. Phone 1300 810 222 on Wednesday’s from 10am and Saturday’s from 9am on ABC South East.

A week to give back to those who have given everything For close to a century, Australian veterans have honoured the pledge made by the original ANZACs to care for the ’missus and the kids’ of their fallen comrades who had given their life or their health for their country.

What is often forgotten is that for each serving Australian who risks everything – a family does the same.

Australians will have the chance to show their support for these very special families by buying a badge during Legacy Week, Sunday August 28 to Saturday September 3.

Legacy is the only organisation of its type in

the world and relies on an army of dedicated volunteers, affectionately named Legatees and many of whom are returned servicemen and women, to carry out its vital work.

Legacy Australia chairman, Tony Ralph, said it doesn’t matter if you are 100 years of age or in your 20s, the organisation’s role in the community is as real now as it has ever been.

“An organisation rich in history, Legacy does its best to meet the changing needs of our families in this modern era and with the support of generous Australians, Legacy can continue its good work”, he said.

As part of that evolving support, 2016 saw Legacy embark on its single largest initiative in its 93 year history. Seventy-five Junior Legatees travelled to the Western Front to participate in the Centenary Commemorations of Pozieres. Having lost a close family member themselves, they know firsthand what it means for Legacy to ‘Keep the Promise’. A promise made a century ago in the trenches of Pozieres.

“I encourage all Australians to buy a badge and wear it with pride this Legacy Week. You will play an important role in supporting the

families of Defence personnel.

“Whether on deployment, peacekeeping, peace enforcing or disaster relief, the bottom line is when a soldier goes to work, there is always a real risk they may not return and if they do, it may not be in the same state as when they left”.

Legacy merchandise, including badges, pens and the very popular Legacy bears, will be available across the country during Legacy Week.

Berridale to pedal L’Etape ideas Still time to complete your Census A community meeting in Berridale is set to generate ideas on how the town can capitalise on the single largest one-day event to hit the region in years.

Residents and business operators have indicated their intentions to host a range of events, including the possibility of a street parade, to coincide with the L’Etape cycling extravaganza. The event is expected to bring thousands of cyclists and support staff to the Snowy Mountains on Saturday, December 3.

Berridale’s Myack Street will host the sprint section of the race, forming one of the integral parts of the 157km course.

With the street set to be lined with spectators and the town buzzing with the excitement of hosting an internationally regarded cycling event, resident Drew King is hoping Berridale can take advantage of the influx of visitors.

Mr King envisages a significant boost to the local economy, and sees a community meeting on Thursday, September 8, as the perfect forum to facilitate ideas surrounding this.

“We need to get Berridale together to see how we can take advantage and promote the town for the day,” Mr King said.

“The community meeting is the first step to getting as many ideas as possible about events we can hold. It’ll be the biggest day of the year.”

Mr King and Berridale’s Annie O’Keefe, have been pedaling the town’s push to become more than just a pit-stop on the L’Etape course.

Cyclists competing in the ‘Race’ (157km course) and in the ‘Ride’ (126km course) will sprint down Myack Street, in one of the most anticipated aspects of the L’Etape event.

Riders will use the Berridale junction as a food stop, further increasing the town’s potential of staging an event around the race, according to Mr King.

“It’s a real growth opportunity for the town and the whole region. We want to see business owners, the community and anyone with ideas of what we can do to come along for the meeting,” Mr King said.

“Because the sprint section is an exciting part of the race there will be a lot of people here watching.”

If successful in staging an event on the day, Mr King believes the flow on effects for the town will be positive.

“We want to increase the awareness of L’Etape organisers so they look upon Berridale as a favourable location for this race and future races.

“Some of the nation’s best cycling roads are in this region.”

Pictured: Berridale resident Drew King is hoping to see a strong turnout from locals at a community meeting on September 8, to garner ideas on how the town can capitalise on the L’Etape cycling race coming to Myack Street.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) reminds Australians there’s still time to participate in the 2016 Census and help make a difference to the nation’s future.

Since taking the online Census form down as a precautionary step on 9 August to protect people’s data, more than half of Australian households have now completed the Census.

Head of the Census Program, Duncan Young, said the online form has been performing smoothly since it was re-opened, and with good responses over the weekend, the Census is progressing well.

“We thank the many Australians who have already completed the Census and we apologise again to everyone for the inconvenience caused on Census night,” Mr Young said.

“If you have not completed the Census, we remind you to complete it as soon as possible.

Your information is safe and you won’t be fined for completing it after Census night, but it is important to complete the form either online or in paper as soon as possible.

“If you have lost your online Login or require a paper form, please call our help lines now and we will send you one. If you are having trouble accessing the online form, this might be due to

the tight security protocols we have in place, so please try a different device,” Mr Young said.

The ABS has 38,000 Census Field Officers now working across Australia to visit households. They will remind people to complete their Census, and make sure they have the Census materials they need.

Field Officers will be able to provide houses with a 12-digit Login code to facilitate online completion, or provide a paper form, with a blue Reply Paid Envelope.

Reminder letters containing 12-digit online Logins required to access the online form will also shortly be sent to households that haven’t yet returned a Census form. If you don’t have your Login or a paper form, please wait for your letter or visit.

The Census Inquiry Service is still open seven days from 8am to 8pm local time, to help with any questions people have about completing the Census online or on paper. The dedicated Paper Form Request service is also still available 24 hours a day.

Green Team a sustainable idea

Council’s Green Team gave a well-received presentation on Sustainability in Local Government at the REROC Local Government Energy and Innovation Forum in Wagga Wagga on the 4 August.

General Manager Joseph Vescio and GIS Administrator Jo Clarke represented Council’s Green Team at the forum and talked about the successes of the former Snowy River Shire Green Team since its inception in 2007.

“Our presentation also highlighted challenges facing Council in rolling out similar sustainability initiatives to the new Snowy Monaro Regional Council (SMRC). I am extremely passionate about the Green Team initiatives and I’m looking forward to expanding the program as part of our transition plan for the new organisation”, explained Mr Vescio.

Some of the successes achieved by the former Snowy River Shire included a 16%

reduction in electricity use in Council operations since a peak in 2008 and a 30% reduction in cost of power since the peak in 2014. Savings of $40,000 in the Green Team revolving fund were put towards four solar installations in 2015 which in the first year achieved a $43,000 saving in electricity at these sites and an expected payback period of 4-6 years.

The forum had a variety of speakers from Local Government, Industry and the Office of Environment and Heritage giving participants an opportunity to learn about energy markets, renewable energy technologies, low energy LED lighting and even hydrogen powered vehicles.

“We are now able to bring back a number of great ideas for the new Green Team to work on and implement for our organisation”, Mr Vescio went on to explain.

For further information on the Green Team please contact Council on 1300 345 345.

Coles Cooma raises $400 for Redkite Staff from Cooma Coles were left seeing red last week. But it was all in the name of a great cause. The team donned their brightest red clothes, while the Centennial Park store was decked out in a myriad of reds.

On Friday, August 19, Coles staff came together to help raise money for the Redkite foundation. A grand total of $400 will be sent to Redkite to continue their support of young people with cancer.

Redkite provides support for cancer sufferers and their families from diagnosis through to the completion of treatment.

Coles Australia has been a supported of Redkite and through their partnership have helped facilitate 32,000 hours of counselling services in cancer wards, as well as 7770 support sessions over two years.

The Cooma branch has been active in the community supporting a range of

organisations and groups. This time it was Redkite who was the beneficiary of the store’s generosity.

Staff gathered for a morning tea with red cupcakes, jelly slices and other red edibles making a welcomed appearance.

Store manager, Nathan McGrath, who was hard to miss in his bright red suit, congratulated his team on their fundraising efforts.

Celebrate spring at the Berridale Daffodil Fete The Daffodil Fete is an annual event and is to be held on Saturday September 17 this year.

The Fete is organised by the Berridale Anglican Women of the Anglican Parish of Berridale and the Snowy Mountains and will open at 10am in the Community Hall in Berridale (entrance via Dalgety Road and Florence Street).

The Daffodil Fete commenced in 1942 when the late Canon Done and his wife introduced it to Berridale Anglicans when he took charge of the parish.

Canon Done and his wife came from Cootamundra parish where the Daffodil Fete was a popular event.

The first Fete was held in the GUOOF (Grand United Order of Odd Fellows) Hall in Berridale In September 1942 with daffodils brought in from

Cootamundra.

The Fete continued to be held in the GUOOF Hall until the hall was closed.

The Fete then was moved to the CWA hall.

While smaller than the GUOOF hall this limitation was overcome by erecting tents in the CWA grounds. The last move of the Daffodil Fete was to the Berridale Community Centre where it will continue for the foreseeable future.

Many of the traditions of the early Fetes are still in place but over the years many other stalls have been added to the Fete format. Cakes, prepared meals, jams, pickles, honey, books, just to name a few.

Of course there is always the popular White Elephant stall.

In addition outside vendors have also been admitted to the

Fete to increase stall variety.

Many of the families that attend each year enjoy sitting down to enjoy the wonderful morning teas that are served in the small hall and present a great opportunity to catch up with friends.

For lunch the barbecue is popular.

A star attraction at midday is a performance of the students of the Rosie O’Sullivan Dance Studio.

As a Grand Finale we will announce the winner of the trailer of wood - still plenty of wood needed!

All proceeds are shared between local and international charities.

NEWS Slow down on Monaro Highway Motorists are advised to be aware of a speed change on a section of the Monaro Highway at Cooma, the Member for Monaro John Barilaro announced.

Mr Barilaro said the existing 100 km/h speed zone will be reduced to 80 km/h for more than two kilometres from around one kilometre south to about 1.5 kilometres north of Polo Flat Road at Cooma. “A speed zone review of this section of the Monaro Highway was carried out earlier this year by Roads and Maritime Services after concerns were raised by community members,� Mr Barilaro said. “It was determined the existing

speed zone be reduced due to the combination of the road alignment and the number of intersections on this section of road. “This change will be implemented from Tuesday, August 23 and motorists are advised to slow down to ensure a safer environment for all road users.�

Electronic message signs are in place to inform motorists of the new speed limit.

Members of the community can sign up at the Safer Roads NSW website to receive updates about changes to permanent speed limits in their nominated area and to have a say on speed limits.

Great donations spell great opportunity and great help The Jindabyne Aero Club (JAC) is holding a BBQ Dinner with a fundraising auction at Rydges Snowy Mountains in Jindabyne from 6.30pm on Saturday, September 3.

The Hip Replacements Band will be there to entertain guests.

There are $10,000 worth of donated auction items up for bids, ranging from a Sydney Harbour cruise for six people, swim and champagne lunch, worth $3300, to weekends away, horse riding, Eco Tours, flights over the mountains, ski lift tickets, accommodation, firewood, schnapps to keep you warm, and a host of others. There will be something for everyone and you could pick up a real bargain. Dress is smart casual. Put on your dancing shoes and come along for a fun evening of food, wine and entertainment. Tickets at $50pp can be purchased from the JAC Treasurer, Phil Bollard, on 0466 651 938.

The JAC is a not-for-profit incorporated association that services and maintains the airfield for the benefit of its members, visitors, the emergency services and any other users. Due to the costs of maintaining and upgrading the airfield, the JAC is constantly seeking financial assistance

and organising fund-raising events, such as this auction evening.

The JAC was founded in 1991 to encourage aviation in the local area.

It signed a lease for the airfield off Tinworth Drive which consisted of a grass strip with very little infrastructure.

The club members constructed the current gravel runway to provide improved access to aircraft and encourage visitation. In addition, this hard surface has been of great benefit to the emergency services and the National Parks and Wildlife Service, during bushfires and search and rescue missions. The last 25 years have seen a slow increase in development at the airfield as interested parties and businesses have built hangars and the fleet of locally based aircraft has increased.

The JAC is currently seeking funding to seal the main runway for all weather operations and also to build an airfield community centre to provide facilities for visitors, emergency personnel and community space for hire. It sees the Jindabyne Randall Community Aerodrome as an essential piece of infrastructure in the future development of Jindabyne and the surrounding region.

Training for emergency services Joseph Street, Bombala was the scene of a mock bus crash as part of a Joint Services Exercise between Fire & Rescue NSW, NSW Police, NSW Ambulance and the Bombala Hospital on August 17.

The training exercise was months in the making, with collaboration behind the scenes between local GP, Dr Emma Cunningham and FRNSW Acting Deputy Captain, Malcolm Lavender.

As a part of their Rural Week experience, 26 students from the Australian National University Medical School visited Bombala on the Wednesday.

The Snowy Monaro Regional Council hosted a luncheon for the group of second year students at the Bombala RSL Club before they were driven to the Bombala Hospital. On arrival the students were greeted by Dr Cunningham

who confronted them with a surprise mock emergency scenario.

A group of 17 students and teaching staff from the Bombala High School played an integral role in the exercise, presenting as injured passengers at the scene.

In the lead up, the students participated in several briefings to prepare them for their role in the scenario and each student was allocated a variety of injuries that may be seen in a bus crash.

Local NSW Police began the exercise by arriving under lights and sirens, followed shortly by Dr Emma Cunningham with the ANU medical students being briefed

by Incident Commander FRNSW Lavender.

Fire Fighter, Gordon Anderson initially secured the scene as he simulated fire attack with a charged line of 38 on the burning vehicle which had collided with

the bus.

Station Commander, Neil Hennessy supervised the scenario and participated throughout in an Operational Communications role as the exercise unfolded.

The bus crash was assessed by the ANU students and patients were removed from the scene one at a time. With Bombala Hospital staff assisting, the patients were triaged and monitored by the medical students.

Members of the local NSW Ambulance also played a significant role in the extrication of patients as the scenario developed.

Snowy Hydro scores two Australian Business Awards Snowy Hydro Limited has been recognised as an ABA100 Winner in The Australian Business Awards 2016 in two categories – Community Contribution and Communication Excellence.

This is the sixth time Snowy Hydro has been recognised by the Australian Business Awards for their outstanding Community Partnerships Program.

Managing Director and CEO of Snowy Hydro, Paul Broad says the award affirms their commitment to taking care of the communities in which they operate and setting the standard as a trusted corporate citizen.

The Community Contribution award recognises Snowy Hydro’s achievements in successfully implementing a pro business community towards excellence.

The Community Partnerships Program targets investment where it will have a positive impact and generate long-term benefits for the communities of the Snowy Mountains region.

The program includes support for the Snowy Hydro SouthCare Rescue Helicopter, Cooma Universities Centre, Young Driver Training as well as local festivals and events. “ We don’t just support charities and not-for-profits; we build partnerships with organisations that are dedicated to supporting better outcomes for the people who live and work in the Snowy Mountains

region. The vitality and economic viability of these communities is critically important to Snowy Hydro as these are the towns where our staff and their families live and work.�

In addition, Snowy Hydro was also recognised as an ABA100 Winner in the Communications Excellence category for our Snowy Hydro NEWS quarterly community newsletter.

Over the past decade Snowy Hydro has been dedicated to significantly improving communication with the communities it operates in to build relationships, help people understand its business operations and obligations and improve community engagement. “Through this newsletter Snowy Hydro has seen a measurable improvement in communication, engagement, perceptions and business understanding in our communities.

Being awarded the Australian Business Award for Communication Excellence signals that this communication tool is not only successful, but our number one communication tool with our local communities.� “For over a decade prioritise innovation and technology as drivers of local and international markets,� Australian Business Awards Program Director, Ms

Tara Johnston, said. “The ABA100 Winners have demonstrated a commitment to technologically transformative innovation through business initiatives that have propelled them to success in a highly competitive business environment.

These organisations not only position themselves as industry leaders, but also push the wider business community towards excellence. “Those organisations that can continue to evolve alongside ever changing business models will secure their longevity, continually contributing to the marketplace by disrupting the status quo in a positive way,� Ms Johnston added.

Each year the ABA100 Winners are recognised through a variety of different award categories that demonstrate transformative business and product innovation. Corporate, government and nongovernment organisations are recognised for their ability to drive innovation through the application of technical expertise in the management of industry leading initiatives, and for the research and development of high-performing products and services.

When asked about what the award means to her, Emma said, “The award is exciting for not only myself, but my colleagues and school. The award acknowledges the hard work that I put in each and every day to provide the best education and foundations for the children in my class to be successful lifelong learners. It also is a testament to my colleagues, as teaching is also about the educators that you work with.”

The entire SMGS community was bursting with pride about the beloved K/1 teacher’s nomination to such a prestigious award. The Director of the Junior School, Scott Frize, echoed this sentiment by saying, “Emma is an outstanding educator and it is wonderful that she has been recognised as such at this level. We are all thrilled for her and of course believe her to be a very worthy recipient of this prestigious prize.”

SMGS firmly believes the junior school years are fundamental in the establishment of strong educational foundations and work

practices.

With innovative and energetic teachers like Emma, these foundations and practices are delivered at an exceptionally high level and this was acknowledged by the NSW Teachers’ Guild Award.

SMGS Principal, Andrew Bell, commended Emma on the achievement of such an honour, saying, “Emma’s dedication to ensure all students under her care are learning effectively, her innovative classroom practice, overall professionalism and nurturing of her young learners, is outstanding. The swift and heartfelt congratulations from colleagues is a reminder that teaching occurs in a team environment, but also is an indicator of her collegial approach. My congratulations to Emma and our Junior School staff.”

Cromwell House history on offer at clearing sale Collectors will be rushing to the Cromwell House clearing sale on September 3.

Cromwell House retains the grace, charm and hospitality of the original Montgomery family.

Their grand home has been retained by the current owner during their extensive restoration of one of Cooma’s most beautiful homes.

The home is a treasure trove, rich in architectural detail, including the original fireplaces, mantels, light fixtures, mouldings, intricately carved woodwork and fittings.

Built in the late 1800’s, Cromwell House was first occupied by the Montgomery family. Mr Montgomery was a civil engineer and responsible for many of the early bridges built on the Monaro.

About 1900, the property was acquired by the Rix Family. In 1919 the property was passed to Mrs Rix’s daughter, Esther Hain. Between 1971 and 2011, there were two other families that called Cromwell House home.

In mid 2011, Steve Allen purchased the property and carried out extensive renovations and redecoration.

Items to be auctioned at the clearing sale will include rare trinkets, fine antiques, Japanese art, Christofle silverware, original artworks, Parker and other, rare, furniture.

The sale is being conducted by Nick Kirshner. Inspection available from 8am with the sale starting at 10am. A bidding card system will apply.

Sister act enjoying life at the Arlberg It’s been a whirlwind two and a half months for the new owners of Berridale’s Arlberg Ski Centre with the busy winter period proving to be the perfect introduction to life in the snow industry.

Michelle and her sister MJ took over the popular business at the start of this year’s ski season. They replaced long-time owners Hans and Tina Beiser who ran the shop for 35 years. Their familiar faces are still about with Hans continuing to impart his wealth of snow knowledge upon New owner Michelle, shop assistant Jens from Belgium, and previous owner the new owners.

Attending the finals in Ulladulla, Cooma Public School had two students compete in the NAIDOC Public Speaking competition. Open to Indigenous students, the topic of the speech was Songlines: A living narrative of our nation.

Cheyenne Nelson, 12, and Liam Stewart, 11, spoke about the Bundian Way, which is the most famous Songline in this area.

Winning the competition heats in Bega against five other teams, the pair travelled to Ulladulla to go up against 13 other schools including Dapto, Cobargo, Oak Flats and Braidwood.

Although they didn’t win, their teacher Louise Jenkins said that they did extremely well and that she was very proud of them.

Both students said that they learnt a great deal from the experience, not only about their own abilities and

coping with stage fright, but about the Bundian Way and their local Indigenous culture. “I learnt that there are actually six seasons,� said Cheyenne, “The Elders read the calendar and we all leave Eden and the mountains at a certain time to walk the Bundian Way.� “I learnt what people did on the track,� said Liam, “One of the biggest reasons for the Bundian Way was hunting Bogong Moths to eat.

Apparently they taste like peanut butter.�

Cheyenne has once skied on the Bundian Way and Liam says his father is arranging a trip for them to walk the track, which he is really looking forward to.

Since the competition, Cheyenne and Liam have given the speech at their school assembly during NAIDOC Week and Education Week.

Cheyenne Nelson and Liam Stewart represented Cooma Public School at the NAIDOC Public Speaking finals in Ulladulla.

Bombala farewells Dianne; a lifetime of caring for others Dianne Kay Benson was the first child born to Roy and Olwyn Murphy in the Bombala Hospital on July 20, 1947.

Before commencing school Dianne lived at Tayfield with her parents and siblings, Terry and Denise. In the early mornings, Dianne and her siblings would be found going around their traps and if a rabbit had been trapped it was quickly put into a bag and taken back to their mother, Mrs Murphy, so that she could dispose of it.

As there was no transport to school, when the time came for Dianne to start school, she moved to Bombala to live with her grandmother, Dora Murphy in Burton Street. Dianne commenced her education at the Bombala Public School in Wellington Street.

After the completion of the family home in Wellington Street she moved back to live with her family, continuing her education at the public school before completing her secondary education at the Bright Street site.

So you all thought Dianne was a little angel, well I’ve got news for you. One day while their parents were away, Dianne, Terry and Denise took it upon themselves to take their father’s cigarettes down to the shed which contained drums of petrol, shut the door and each had a puff of a cigarette. On arriving home it didn’t take their father long to discover that his cigarettes were missing. I gather that there were raised voices and they were told in no uncertain terms not to do that again.

On another occasion when Mr and Mrs Murphy were elsewhere a storm hit the town. There was thunder and lightning. Dianne and Denise were frightened so they quickly raced inside, locked the door and hid under the bed. Terry was locked outside and couldn’t get in so he kicked the door in and then later blamed the girls for the damage done.

Upon leaving school Dianne went to work at the Motel Maneroo where she worked until after her marriage.

Dianne would drive her sister Denise down the street to meet her boyfriend and it was at this time that on August 26, 1968 Dianne met the love of her life Ossie Benson and after courting for two years they married on November 21, 1970.

Whilst waiting to build their home in Burton Street they lived with

Dianne’s parents. They completed and moved into their own home in 1972.

Because of her love of children, Dianne decided to start babysitting and in 1970 she commenced her first venture into child minding, voluntarily looking after her niece Tanya and nephew Jason. Many years later she cared for Tanya’s children. When Jason and Monica came to Bombala their girls always called to see Di and out would come the craft box. Dianne was very close to her great nephew, Ryan and her great nieces Hannah, Ella and Sophie.

Dianne was born to be a mother and a carer , so you can imagine how excited and proud she was when their first born son Darren arrived on September 23, 1974 and the joy and happiness with the arrival of Craig their second son who was born January 12, 1978. Their little family was complete.

In 1983 Rosie Caves approached Dianne to babysit her son James and so her childminding business began and was to continue until 2015. During this time Dianne has cared for over 30 children.

Dianne wasn’t in the business to make money, she dedicated her life to her charges, giving the best possible care. Nothing was too much trouble for her, she always gave her all, she did anything and everything for the children in her care, and also went above and beyond for their parents.

Toilet training, teaching them to count and reciting the alphabet, she read books to them and taught some to read, and played games, They would make their own play dough, they would all cook, learn how to ride bikes, she taught them how to swing and taught them the importance of sharing, caring, patience and determination and always to have a go.

She loved to fish and always enjoyed and looked forward to their family fishing trips down the coast.

On any trips away Dianne would always be found searching for anything that would be useful to use with the children.

Because of Dianne’s kind and caring nature she was quickly able to gain the trust of any child left in her care. Many of her charges and their appreciative parents have kept

in touch and visited her over the years. They all speak highly about the care given and the wonderful friendship they have shared with her.

Yes at times there were tears.

More tears were shed when they had to go home than when they were left. This year one little girl wanted to come and live with Dianne and Ossie and when asked ‘what about mum and dad and your sister?’, she was heard to say, ‘they can come and visit on weekends’.

This just goes to show how much Dianne was loved and cared for.

How many carers would occasionally wash and iron clothes, bath the children, supply morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and at times dinner at night?

They had the best of everything to eat. Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Christmas, Easter and birthdays were always celebrated with craft activities and presents and sibling and parent birthdays were always acknowledged with a card, cake or chocolates.

Dianne was close to her grandmother, Dora Murphy and kept an eye on her whilst she was still at home, so it would come as no surprise to any of you to know, that when her grandmother was admitted to the Bombala Hospital she would often visit her to feed her her nightly meal.

For many years Dianne also cared for her mother with the assistance of Terry and Denise, when she was able to be home. Many trips were

made through the paddock as Dianne went to check on her Mum, taking meals, washing, cakes etc.

She cleaned, washed and got the wood in. I think getting the wood in turned into a competition with Terry and I know she always appreciated Denise coming home to share the chores. A number of the little people Dianne cared for also got to visit Murphy. Murphy was a special person they enjoyed meeting as were Mr Baird and Mr Joseph.

Even after Mrs Murphy was admitted to hospital Dianne still did her laundry and cooked special treats for her. Denise would take over these duties whenever she was able to come home. Dianne also kept a special eye on Mr Baird and Mr Joseph, making them soup and other special treats.

Fortunately Denise has been able to come home a couple of times recently and during this time they were able to spend special time together and declare their love for each other.

As Ossie was a member of the Gun Club, this of course meant that Dianne would also be involved and for a number of years she worked and cooked for the club meets. In recent years because of her interest in flowers, Dianne began to assist with and set up the floral arrangements and flowers for the Bombala Show. She really enjoyed this day and it was the one day in the year she would take the day off from minding children.

Craig having continued to live with his Mum and Dad has meant that they have been able to share so much in their life together. When Dianne became ill it was a comfort to have Craig there to assist her as well as Ossie.

After Darren and Suzie’s marriage they presented her with the grandchildren that she so longed to have. Dianne was so excited when their first grandchild Andrew arrived followed by Maggie and then this year Emilia joined her siblings.

Many of us believe that Darren has chosen a wife very similar to Dianne.

Dianne loved and is very proud of her boys and all they have achieved. And she loves Suzie and her beautiful grandchildren. There was a time when she thought that she would not meet Emilia, but somehow her determination allowed her to meet her third grandchild.

She had a strong connection and empathy with all ages, she was a friend to all, nothing was too much effort for her. Whether it was visiting a family member, a neighbour, friend or someone who had been sick or who had lost a member of their family, Dianne would be there and if she wasn’t then she would send Ossie with a special treat that she had made.

Only a couple of weeks ago Dianne was in hospital for her birthday and as a tribute to her, her room was filled with beautiful flowers, cards, and presents, this again shows the high regard in which she was held by all who knew her.

Dianne would like to thank the staff, nurses, doctors and particularly Dr Pate for all of their wonderful care and attention given to her whilst she was a patient at Bombala Hospital. Nothing was too much trouble for them and she appreciated all that was done for her. Dianne would also like to thank the staff at the Cooma Oncology Unit for their care and attention during her chemo treatments.

Thanks to not only Bob but also to Judy for her love, support and prayers during the last seven years.

Dianne would especially like to thank Anne for her wonderful friendship and love and for all she has done over the years and finally to Terry and Anne for their daily visits or phone calls.

These thank you messages speak volumes about this wonderful person, always acknowledging and thinking of others.

Dianne’s family has done everything imaginable to beat this terrible illness. Initially, I believe Dianne was given 5-7 months, through her determination and the love and support of family, she more than doubled this time.

Ossie, Darren, Suzie and Craig have been a wonderful support to her. They have cooked, cleaned, washed and Ossie has even sewed.

Terry would like to acknowledge all Ossie has done for Dianne, he has always given one hundred percent but recently his effort and commitment to her has been much greater giving at least one hundred and forty percent.

Rest in Peace Dianne you lived courageously, you gave it your all.

Ellery’s Men from Snowy River event

March brings dividends

There will be a very special presentation in the Delegate School of Arts on Monday, September 5, with young local, Ellery Farran being behind the event.

Ellery was the young lady in the First World War nurses uniform who accompanied the Men From Snowy River Recruitment March reenactment in November 2015.

Ellery is a Lone Scout and as part of her attaining the Leadership Activity component of an Australian Scout Medallion she is organising the presentation at the local School of Arts.

November 5 marks the centenary of the Men from Snowy River leaving Australia on the troop ship Port Sydney. The men had arrived in Goulburn in late

The members of the Men from Snowy River Commemoration Committee met to finalise the finances of the event at a recent meeting held in Delegate.

The group unanimously passed the financial statement presented by Treasurer, Gloria Cotterill and agreed to a list of recipients to receive donations to a total of $13,000.

Funds are to be distributed to the following Helicopter/Windsock Fund, $5000.

Delegate History Room, $2000.

Delegate School of Arts, $2000.

Delegate Public School, $500 for Annual Anzac Book Award.

Delegate Sub-Branch RSL, $500.

Delegate Hospital Auxiliary, $500.

Delegate Fire Brigade, $500.

Snowy Hydro/Southcare, $1000.

Returned Veterans Rehab, Mates4Mates, $1000.

January 2016 and had been in training until September 4 when they travelled by train to Sydney and then marched through the streets of Sydney with the 55th battalion prior to embarkation.

They sailed from Sydney to England and from there were sent to the Western front.

The presentation will focus on the story of these brave men, and is being attended by Delegate school children and members of the community. All are invited, and morning tea will be provided.

“Bravo Ellery,” said Delegate Progress Association President, Penelope Judge on the young lady organising the event. “A future leader for sure!”

Toby Jones, Ellery Farran and Noah Coles marched in the MFSR recruitment march reenactment last year. Ellery is hosting a special presentation in Delegate on September 5.

monster raffle held in conjunction with the commemoration.

The fundraising was initially completed to cover costs as the Committee did not attract a grant from the Government.

However in the final stages of preparation the group received over $6000 from Mr Kim Templeton, which was part of the grant he had previously secured from the Federal Government for the Men from Snowy River Commemorations.

During the recent meeting, Medals from the Monaro Awards Day were also presented to those members of the Committee who were not able to attend the earlier Cooma presentation.

The Committee has recently received a letter from Director of the Australian War Memorial, Dr Brendon Nelson saying that he was proud to be the Patron of the Re-enactment March, and congratulated the Committee on the success of such a major and successful project.

The Committee hope to visit the Australian War Memorial later this year.

NEWS 17 Brain Injury Awareness Week Animals on the Monaro art exhibition Wednesday August 24, 2016

Know the 10 signs of sports-related concussion to prevent irreversible damage Parents, coaches and the broader sporting community are being urged to learn the signs and symptoms of concussion in sporting players, to mark Brain Injury Awareness Week (August 15 -21).

This year, advocacy group Brain Injury Australia is focusing on young stroke awareness, after data from the Australian Stroke Clinical Registry revealed one in every four strokes now occurs in people under 65 years old.

Leading personal injury law firm Slater and Gordon is a proud partner of Brain Injury Australia and General Manager Stuart Barnett said the risk of stroke increases significantly following traumatic brain injuries. “Studies have found a greater risk of stroke exists in patients who have suffered trauma to the head, compared to those whose injuries did not affect their brain,� Mr Barnett said. “Consider this in relation to the increased susceptibility of sportsrelated concussion for children and you start to see a real risk emerge for irreversible brain damage. “Children also take longer to recover from a concussion than adults – around 7 to 10 days, depending on severity, so prevention and early intervention is the best approach.�

Mr Barnett said concussion in children can result in long-term brain damage if not treated and managed

quickly and effectively. “Health experts recommend seeking urgent medical attention if your child complains of any following symptoms,� Mr Barnett said.

1. Headache.

2. Dizziness.

3. Nausea/vomiting.

4. Loss of memory.

5. Blurred vision.

6. Confusion.

7. Disorientated.

8. Tiredness.

9. Feeling ‘not quite right’.

10. Sensitive to bright light and loud noise Mr Barnett said sporting clubs, organisations and schools also have a duty of care to protect children under their responsibility from any reasonably foreseeable risk of injury or harm. “Sporting clubs need to take into account the child’s age and capacity when managing their safety and injury prevention,� Mr Barnett said. “This can include ensuring the child’s opponent is of same age, size and skill, ensuring they wear appropriate protection, giving adequate training and enforcing the rules of the game. “Sports Medicine Australia has released a set of safety guidelines to try and ensure children’s sports are as safe as reasonably possible, with as little risk of brain injury as possible.�

Coles fresh fruit donation Thank you to Coles Cooma for their generous weekly donation of fresh fruit to ensure all students at Cooma Public School have a healthy snack for Crunch ‘N’ Sip. Crunch ‘N’ Sip is a part of our Live Life Well initiative where every student is able to enjoy a piece of fresh fruit each day.

Animals on the Monaro is an exciting new exhibition opening at 3pm Saturday 27th August at the Raglan Gallery in Cooma. Curator and artist Gillian Jenkins has gathered 13 local artists to interpret Animals on the Monaro as their theme to work with.

There will be a range of works varying from the representational through to the abstract. Also included will be three dimensional works, indigenous works and ceramics. The artists vary from those who are exhibiting for the first time to those who are quite experienced in the field of the arts.

Each artist has interpreted the theme Animals on the Monaro in terms of their experience of living on the Monaro. The delicate pencil drawings of first

time exhibitor Michelle Mackay show an intimate relationship with her subject matter. The bold colours and statements of long time exhibitor Dawn Braithwaite’s works demonstrate a passionate sensitivity and politic. New to the Monaro art scene is Jeanine Kimm with her warm observations of animal behaviour will captivate any viewer..

Other artist included in this exhibition are Lisa Baier, Janneane Cahill, Rowena Evans, Kate Litchfield, Merilyn Minell, Katie Monticone, Bernadette Nater, Kerry Wooden. and guest artist Jandemarra Wall.

Cooma Men’s Probus Club – August report The club this month was treated to a talk by one of its own, Jock Mackenzie, who gave us a fascinating contrast between overseas tripping in the 1960s and in the 21st Century.

Jock and his wife, Denise, spent two long periods on world trips, 58 days for the first, and 62 days for the second, and his tale ranged from the growth of crowds, the worth of taking your own camera compared with the purchase of professionally available photos, taken under good conditions, queuing to see the Mona Lisa compared with the three or four tourists back in the 1960s and being able to view the Sistine Chapel without having to step over folk lying on the floor studying the ceiling.

Two-month trips certainly allow you to take in much of what the world offers in tourist attractions.

And the slides Jock showed us ranged from Las Vegas, yucca country in contrast to Caesar’s palace, the cable cars in San Francisco (did I read somewhere that they are to be phased out? No, no, please – they are an essential part of that city! – Ed), and a ride on the now almost extinct Canadian Pacific railway, far more evocative than the Canadian National, which is the only one available these days.

(And what’s worse, you have to defer to the goods trains, the real money makers....)

In Winnipeg they experienced 10 days at -25 degrees Fahrenheit, visited the Plaza in New York, where “nothing important ever happens�, and fearfully called in at Cab Calloway’s Coffee Club in Harlem.

In London they scooped up tickets to Parliament, agreed with Spencer Tracy who remarked that “when I die I don’t want to go to heaven, I want to go to Claridges�, watched a play at the Savoy and of course, twice visited the Mousetrap. Other visits were to the dockside pub and the Olde Cheshire Cheese pub, of literary fame, Edinburgh Castle, where on their first trip they had to contend with two other tourists!! And of course, The Eifel tower, the Trevi fountain and Pompeii which were uncrowded in 1960.

Teheran was snowy, New Delhi was littered with sacred cows, and getting behind and out of the Iron Curtain was an adventure, crowned with a fortnightly-scheduled, luxury flight to Tokyo, on which the service was superb, with both Japanese and Russian staff vying to serve their passengers.

Hong Kong did a “before� and “after� transformation, emphasising just how many more people these day go cruising, and all in all, Jock managed to persuade us that we had missed the good olde days.

Thanks Jock and Denise, and we loved your slides, be they self-taken or purchased.

And for any retired blokes who want something else to do rather than cruise, but who want something to help occupy your days, give Probus a try.

POST & RAIL

the

postman calls

The icy winds that swept across the region over the weekend must have been the gusty sighs of relief from our snowfields.

A nice dump is just what we needed to see us through to the end of what has been a busy ski season.

But with blossoms already popping up on branches, some warmer weather will be welcomed by the locals.

Especially for those who have been struck by the nasty influenza that is going around lately.

Winter isn’t the only thing wrapping up, with the Rio Olympic Games hosting their closing ceremony early this week.

The Postman is looking forward to watching the Paralympics. The extraordinary stories of perseverance and determination from these athletes is truly inspiring.

Congratulations to the Bombala Blue Heelers for a great fight in the Grand Final on the weekend, and for a strong season.

Well done also to the Div 2 Cooma Tigers, both men and women are minor premiers this year.

Good luck this weekend.

Vietnam Veterans Day and the 50th Anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan Editor,

Last week veterans and the Australian community will honour the service and sacrifice of nearly 60,000 Australians who served in the Vietnam War, including the 521 who lost their lives and more than 3,000 who were wounded.

Vietnam Veterans Day is commemorated annually on 18 August, and this year it marks the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan, one of the fiercest battles fought by Australian soldiers in Vietnam.

The battle involved 105 Australians and three New Zealanders from D Company 6RAR. A total of 17 Australians were killed in action and 25 were wounded, one of whom later died of his wounds.

D Company were greatly assisted by an ammunition resupply by RAAF helicopters, close fire support from New Zealand’s 161 Field Battery, together with additional artillery support from the Australian task force base at Nui Dat, and the arrival of reinforcements in APCs as night fell.

Commemorative events are taking

place across the country which provide an opportunity for the nation to reflect on the service and sacrifice of the Australians involved in the Vietnam War. The major commemoration will be the public National Service, to be held at the Australian Vietnam Forces National Memorial in Canberra, which will be attended by the GovernorGeneral, Prime Minister, other dignitaries and over 400 veterans.

On the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan, we should all reflect on the sacrifice and experiences of the Australians who served their country in Vietnam. We honour and commemorate every single Australian who served in Vietnam. As is inscribed on the Australian Vietnam Forces National Memorial, today is a day, “for all those that served, suffered and died”.

Dan Tehan Minister for Veterans’ Affairs Minister for Defence Personnel Minister Assisting the Prime Minster on the Centenary of Anzac

Riposte Lisa Ashurst I think I may have heard all the tripe from parents who are anti vaccination and to be honest, I have never really felt their reasons were valid enough to support their decision not to vaccinate their children against some really nasty, but definitely preventable, diseases. Maybe if they were made to see the result on others of allowing their child to get very sick in the first place and then taking them out into the community to spread the disease they might see the the whole thing differently but then again, maybe not.

But this is where we are now because of their blinkered irresponsibility. New parents are being asked to have a whooping cough booster, as are any friends or family members who will come into direct contact with the newborn in it’s first six weeks of life as a precaution against the baby contracting the disease. It is the norm now and it is ridiculous! It is also infuriating.

You see, Daughter and Son-in-law became parents two weeks ago and their little girl is my first grandchild.

Except I haven’t clapped eyes on her, aside from the daily pics they have been emailing me, because I had the misfortune to come into contact with (probably the child of) an antivaccination type and their child gave me a major dose of chickenpox!

That’s right! Chickenpox!!! Technically it should not have happened as I had had this as a child (no vaccination for it

then) but I was already as sick as with Type A flu. I tend to go years between flu viruses but this year I copped the really bad one just a few days before Grandbaby made her entrance and it was probably on that unavoidable trip to the supermarket to pick up some painkillers that I came into contact with The Chickenpox Kid! Now Type A flu will knock you for six, but Type A flu combined with a full-on dose of Chickenpox will have you flat out wondering how you could possibly feel that sick and not die! Like, I don’t think I had a single square centimetre of skin that did not have a spot on it!

The other thing is, had I just been dealing with the flu, I would have been well and truly over it before Grandbaby was even a week old, and thus free to hover over her to my heart’s content.

But the hover hasn’t happened, has it? No it has not because I’m still in isolation! Lucky I don’t know who exactly gave me Chickenpox because if I did I would have ripped their head off by now and stuffed their diseased offspring down their neck. Sounds harsh, except that the Doctor has advised me to stay out of circulation for another week which will make Grandbaby three weeks old before I get to see her for the first time! I haven’t even been able to help out during those first days home from hospital! And all because some dipstick decided not to vaccinate.

Whoever you are, I freaking hate you!

WHAT SHOULD I DO WHEN THE KIDS MISBEHAVE? It’s a question all parents ask themselves at times: Should they ignore the behaviour? Should they use time-out or some other form of punishment? What if what they’ve been trying so far just hasn’t been working? What’s going to stop the behaviour in the short term, but also be best for their child’s development in the long term?

Emotion coaching is a simple, five step approach to addressing the emotional upsets which are at the root of many difficult behaviours. When parents use it consistently, they can help their children: • Have fewer behavioural problems • Be more resilient and emotionally stable • Be more cooperative • Develop good problem solving abilities • Concentrate better at school • Get on better with their siblings This practical two-hour session is designed for parents of children aged 2 – 18 years and is presented by Beth Macgregor is a Sydney-based psychologist who specialises in helping parents and children enjoy full and wonderful lives together.

POST PEOPLE

Wednesday August 24, 2016

Globe trotting adventurer calls Bombala her home Being the local postman - or postwoman in this case - has led to some pretty interesting times for Bombala’s Karen Jeffery, but they pale in comparison to the challenging treks that Karen has taken on both in Australia and across the globe.

Karen is originally from Wollongong where she began her career with Australia Post, but from the age of 21 she sought out a life of travel as well.

The Kokoda Trail was her starting point, and she completed the famous track in ten days with a tour group.

“This was the first time they had opened the trail up for tourism,” Karen explains.

“This meant that the villagers along the way had never seen many visitors before, and it really blew their minds to have us coming through. It was incredible.”

The experience awoke a great hunger in Karen, and she returned with a friend just 12 months later to complete the track - this time in an amazing two and a half days.

“We absolutely hammered ourselves to see how fast we could do it,” Karen says.

“Most people do it over ten days, and I think the fastest it has been done is in 48 hours or so with someone basically running it, so we really challenged ourselves.”

From this point Karen says she was “hooked on physical challenge”, and she felt the next obvious step for her was mountain climbing.

She started with Mt Cook in New Zealand before going for the ultimate challenge and travelling to Nepal.

Here Karen took on Mirror Peak, where just a week before her arrival several had been killed in an avalanche at the base camp her own group would be using.

“We made an attempt to look for the bodies, but there was still too much snow and they would have to wait until summer to retrieve them,” she says.

Faced with death so directly at that point, you may wonder if Karen felt deterred from her own thrill seeking.

“Not really. If you’re going to climb mountains for any length of time, you’re either going to die or know people who do,” she says matter of factly.

“The conditions just change so quickly in the mountains, and the risk is all part of it.”

It must be pointed out of course that Karen was climbing formidable mountains during the 1980s when there was far less equipment to assist climbers, and there were fewer safety strategies in place.

Karen recalls her group taking just five steps at a time in very high altitudes before having to rest, and sleeping with her socks inside her clothing to ensure that they wouldn’t freeze so she could get back into her boots the next day.

And the tough climatic conditions were not the only challenges.

“I was travelling with total strangers and I was the only girl sharing a two man tent with two men,” Karen recalls.

“There was very limited space, and we were right on top of one another. But that’s how it had to be.”

The trials and achievements of mountain climbing obviously suited Karen well, as she returned several times to Nepal, taking on Island Peak as well as Mirror.

“It did become costly, especially when I travelled over once and the weather prevented any climb at all,” she says.

At the time Karen was still working with Australia Post in Wollongong, and would stringently save her pay to fund her trips, which would be taken during months of unpaid leave.

“I was also doing a lot of training for the

climbs during this time,” she adds.

“You had to be really physically fit or you would be a liability to the team. Fortunately, I don’t think my family really understood the danger involved in my trips.”

In between treks to Nepal, Karen also managed to walk across Kashmir, enjoying yet further climbing challenges, and delighting in meeting the local highland people in the primitive villages she passed through.

In 1988 the chance came to explore some of her own country, with Karen coming across an advertisement in a newspaper calling for people who were interested in walking across Australia.

The advert attracted four trekkers serious about the venture, with the small group taking six and a half months to cross the continent from Steep Point in Western Australia to Byron Bay in NSW, with 16 camels to carry their supplies.

Karen and the team started out in farmland in 45 degree temperatures, then crossing the Great Victoria Desert and the Strzelecki Desert, including part of the Birdsville Track, finishing with the crossing of NSW. “It took three months to cross the Great Victoria Desert, and I just fell in love with it,” Karen says.

“No one much at that time had crossed it, and I was just amazed by the plants and the wildlife there. It was spectacular.”

It was also the longest that Karen had ever been without a wash, with there being severe water rations over the three months.

The Strzlecki Desert was a much shorter crossing, but by the end of the half-year trek, Karen was left so impressed by the camels that had accompanied them that she began working with the animals.

She spent 12 months on Kangaroo Island working for the Outback Camel Company, leading day trips on the camels in what she says was a beautiful setting.

Unfortunately, with her sister suffering very poor health, Karen felt the need to move back to Wollongong, and it was not until two years later that she took up the next opportunity for adventure.

“The man from Outback Camels at Kangaroo Island got in touch with me, looking for people who wanted to walk from Alice Springs to the Indian Ocean,” she says.

Karen leapt at the chance to get back into the desert, and she joined a group of five to cross the Great Sandy Desert and the Gibson in three and a half months with 17 camels.

“I already loved camels by this stage, and I was amazed that some of these ones still remembered me, but this trek really proved to me just how incredible camels really are,” she says.

Unbeknownst to the group, lightning strikes had burnt practically all of the vegetation in one large section of the desert, and the camels went without food for a full three weeks, with there being no water in that area either.

“No other animal could survive that, and the camels were travelling around 20kms a day, through steep sand dunes, carrying 150 to 200 kilograms each. And they could’ve gone on for longer than that. It was incredible.”

Once the group hit the Canning Stock Route the camels had access to feed and water again, but their resilience remained in Karen’s mind.

Unfortunately Karen’s next desert adventure was memorable for less positive reasons. After returning home to Wollongong, she came across another

newspaper advertisement, this time from a man who was interested in walking the Simpson Desert over three weeks.

“I hadn’t done this one, so again I answered the advert,” Karen says.

There were to be no camels on this trip, so Karen and her companion stored their supplies in empty paint containers to be helicoptered into the desert and left at strategic points around 50kms apart.

This meant they must carry food and water for themselves to last the two and a half days walk in between, so they were both loaded with around 30kgs at the start of each leg.

“That first week, carrying all of that weight in the heat, was incredibly hard,” Karen recalls.

“I had never been so exhausted, and your body was just so sore when you stopped.

The only relief you could get was when you were laying flat after the day’s walking. I had to force myself even to eat to fuel my body.”

Thankfully, by the second week, Karen says she hit peak physical condition and felt good as she got stuck into the challenge.

But pushing themselves onward meant that by the final week of the trek, the pair were physically deteriorating again and it became a mighty struggle to finish.

“There was even a pair of wedge tailed eagles that kept an eye on us, flying overhead too see if we were still moving,” Karen laughs now.

Perhaps the worst part of all was that her partner in the desert crossing did not cope well.

“Both physically and mentally he just couldn’t take it; he’d never done anything like it before,” she said.

This led to greater hardships for Karen, who had to further ration her own water to provide for her partner when he would drink his too quickly. She also had to deal with verbal abuse when he “cracked up”, or silent treatment when he’d withdraw.

“You just had to keep pushing him, and convince him to keep going when he wanted to stop in the sun to rest rather than get to the next patch of shade. There was no alternative, we couldn’t just stop and give up,” Karen says.

“I could take the physical demands, but mentally it was extremely difficult.”

So drained was Karen after this particular crossing, she said that it took her around 12 months to fully recover from the strain, and it marked the end of her more challenging travels. She was in her early 30s at the time.

“At this point I realised I had fully pushed myself to my limits and beyond, and I genuinely felt that I didn’t need to do that anymore,” she says.

This didn’t mean Karen stopped travelling,

it simply meant she chose locations where survival didn’t necessarily hang in the balance.

An example is the time Karen spent in the Kimberleys, where she accompanied a group that was helicoptered into a series of gorges that had never before been explored by white people.

“It was incredibly remote and it was spectacular. You did have to watch out for crocs, but there was always water to drink,” she laughs, comparing it to her time in the desert.

Of particular delight to Karen was the rock art that she was able to see in the Kimberleys.

“Some of it was pre-dated to Aboriginal times, and it was much more intricate, with the figures wearing jewellery and so on,” she explains.

“It is thought that some islander people may have come across and left their mark with this rock art, and we documented it all as we came across it in caves and gorges. It was amazing.”

From here it was back to Wollongong, but this time Karen started up her own camel company, securing permission to conduct tourist rides along the beach, and also breaking in her own animals to pull wagons at local events.

It was a suggestion from her father that she buy herself some property that eventually led Karen to the Bombala district, and when she finally settled on her small farm just out of town, she felt everything had fallen into place nicely.

“I never quite felt I belonged in Wollongong, and my decision to come to Bombala was the best one I ever made,” she says.

“I have not regretted the move for one minute, and know this is where I’m supposed to be.”

Karen’s land is now home to a wide variety of animals, but chief among them is, of course, a camel.

“Mickey came from the back of Bourke with a group of camels that were purchased

by Oaklands in Pambula, “ Karen says.

“When they were first buying them and contacted me to give them a hand with them, I asked them to throw an extra one on for me!”

Karen laughs when she recalls towing Mickey up the mountain from Pambula in a box trailer with heightened sides, and when she remembers local vet, Stephen Reed having the unenviable job of castrating him.

“Now Mickey is Lord of the Hill up at our place, and he likes nothing more than an apple from our visitors,” she says.

Quality Hazeldean bulls for sale

Hazeldean Angus will offer 100 bulls at its Annual Spring Bull Sale on Tuesday September 6th.

Celebrating 150 years of the Hazeldean Merino Stud last year, 2016 sees the completion of the new Hazeldean Sale Shed, with the Spring Sale the first event to take place in the new structure.

Spring sale bulls for 2016 are sired by the breed’s leading sires, with great attention to structure and temperament as well as overall performance. In addition, this year for the first time all bulls have been semen tested with penis and testes examined as part of an overall reproductive assessment.

Hazeldean will offer performance bulls by sires Matauri Reality, S A V Thunderbird, VAR Reserve, Ardrossan

Equator, Hazeldean Harlequin H2, Hazeldean Harvey H14, Hazeldean Flair F493, as well as other top performing Hazeldean sires.

For a number of years the Angus Society of Australia has been running a Sire Benchmarking Program where many young sires from all parts of Australia are compared for all commercially relevant traits. Hazeldean F493 and Hazeldean F1023 were part of cohort 3 and performed exceptionally well in all traits including calving ease, growth, and particularly carcase. 40 Angus sires were compared with progeny being analysed right through from birth to abattoir chiller. F1023 progeny ranked 1st for carcase IMF (actual marbling) and 2nd for MSA index and scanned IMF.

F493 progeny were ranked third for 200 day weight, second for 400 day weight, fourth for 600 day weight, and seventh for carcase IMF. “We are particularly pleased with the performance of two Hazeldean sires entered and it confirms what we have long been told about Hazeldean cattle – that they marble well above breed average and perform well above average in the feedlot and on grass.”

(For full results go to www. angusaustralia.com.au ) Hazeldean looks forward to welcoming clients into their new sale shed and are relieved there will be no more huddling around the sale ring in horizontal snow and sleet from now on!

The Walters family produce top bulls for sale at Rosskin Our family run stud commenced in 1983.

Our stud was going nowhere, so Martin learnt to Artificially Inseminate (AI) in 1996.

All females have been artificially inseminated ever since by synchronising on their first cycle then watch from day 19 to day 30 during their second cycle. By doing this we are on 85-90% conception rate of females within our herd. Our two best sale bulls at Rosskin are dedicated to breed good cattle by using the best genetics throughout America, New

Zealand and Australia with a strong emphasis on Australian sires as we believe they are leading the way in the Angus breed at the moment.

Rosskin is proud of our female herd with 20 years of some of the best genetics infused into our stud. Our 80 to 100 Angus breeders are run with merino sheep and fat lamb enterprises. Only the very best females make it into our stud. We have a culling rate of 5070% in our yearling heifers for the simple

reason we just can’t keep them, as most of our aged cows are still breeding at 10 to 12 years of age. Selection of our replacement heifers becomes harder every year.

We are kind to our cattle. Our cattle do not receive any special attention, our calves are weaned side by side with their mothers on one side of the fence and are moved on when weaning has taken place. We do not tolerate temperament problems in our cattle, thus yard weaning is not necessary with our cattle.

Our clients are being rewarded in Monaro calf sales, either topping sales or at the high end of the market. Rosskin is grateful for the way clients are presenting their cattle for sale.

Rosskin’s success comes about with the effort our clients are putting in.

2007 we commenced a small Charolais stud, currently running 15 stud females under the same strict criteria as our Angus herd. The weight for age obtained in our pure Charolais or Charolais Angus cross, compared to pure breed Angus is astounding.

This year will be our fifth on-property bull sale. We appreciate the support of our many repeat clients who are showing their confidence in our cattle. This year we will be offering 41 bulls comprising of 29 two year old Angus bulls, 11 Angus bulls 14 to 17 months old and one 15 month old Charolais bull.

Sires represented in this years draft of bulls are: Tuwharetoa Regent D145 Rennylea Edmund E11 Ythanbrae Henry VIII U8 Sitz Upward 307R Coonamble Elevator E11 Matauri Reality 839 Matauri Outlier F031 BT Right Time 24J Booroomooka Theo T030 LT Ledger

Pictured, one of Rosskin’s top bulls with Sandra and Brian Callan from Braidwood and Adam Walters.

Sandra and Brian took home the top selling bull at Rosskin’s last sale.

There has been much emphasis on lowering birth weights in the Angus breed.

We have focused on sires that will meet your requirements in calving ease and not sacrificing growth. We are proud of this years sale bulls. They reflect the thickness, structure and temperament we strive for.

Martin, Liz and Adam look forward to seeing you on sale day – Monday 5 September.

Must-attend national Nuffield Conference The Nuffield Australia National Conference is one of the must-attend events on the agricultural calendar, this year perfect for those with a taste for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vision, Innovation & Progressâ&#x20AC;?.

That is the theme underpinning the 2016 conference, and with two full days attracting the most highly regarded minds in Australian agriculture from September 14-16 in Adelaide, South Australia, the event is set to impress.

Nuffield Australia CEO, Jodie Dean, is enthusiastic about the dynamic mix of speakers, and the latest information to be shared by Nuffield Scholars who have travelled worldwide to study topics related to agriculture â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a great program for the conference this year, including presentations from both returning Scholars with cutting edge research outcomes, and highlyesteemed national and international speakers covering hot industry topics,â&#x20AC;? she said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The conference provides a unique opportunity for farmers from across the country to mix with Nuffield Scholars and industry stakeholders to debate the latest technology and innovations in agriculture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With over 300 primary producers under the one roof, the National Conference provides industry with the ideal network to leverage change.â&#x20AC;?

Twenty-seven Nuffield Scholars from Australia, New Zealand, Brazil and the UK will share their experiences and findings from their global study tours, including novel on-farm and agribusiness solutions and strategies.

These Scholars will cover a wide range of topics and challenges across a diverse cross section of industries and regions, offering delegates motivating new insights for agriculture.

This will include: â&#x20AC;˘ Communication technology solutions â&#x20AC;˘ Animal welfare standards â&#x20AC;˘ Family farm business

decisions â&#x20AC;˘ Conversion from conventional to certified organic farming â&#x20AC;˘ Managing urban encroachment and unfavourable public perception â&#x20AC;˘ Sustainable high yields from continuous double cropping â&#x20AC;˘ The benefits and challenges of provenance marketing for producers â&#x20AC;˘ An investigation of the implications of collecting â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; data on farm â&#x20AC;˘ Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best practice in non-cage egg production systems â&#x20AC;˘ IPM strategies for greenhouse hydroponic production of berry crops â&#x20AC;˘ Innovation to close the gap between producer and retailer profits External speakers will discuss the following important industry issues: â&#x20AC;˘ International GMO usage â&#x20AC;˘ Staff, resources and skills â&#x20AC;˘ Environmental regulation Keynote speakers include: â&#x20AC;˘ Ian McLachlan, AO

The Nuffield Conference will be held from September 17 to 19. â&#x20AC;˘ Tim Hunt, General Manager of Rabobankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Food and Agribusiness Research and Advisory division (Australia and NZ) â&#x20AC;˘ Tobias Marchand, Managing Director, Bayer CropScience Pty Ltd â&#x20AC;˘ Dr Allan Green, Deputy Chief of CSIRO Plant Industry

Online scholarship guide Not-for-profit organisation the Country Education Foundation (CEF) has launched a new online Scholarship Guide today to help young rural and regional Australians access scholarships, grants and bursaries.

This purpose-built online search platform is the first of its kind for country kids and their families and will allow people to search hundreds of scholarships in just a few quick clicks.

While there continues to be hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships up for grabs in the tertiary education sector, knowing where to look and how to apply is a big hurdle for students, especially country students who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have easy access to tertiary institutions.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why CEF have brought together scholarships from a broad range of facilities on one easy to use website. The CEF 2017 Scholarship Guide is a onestop-shop for higher education scholarship opportunities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are firm believers that your postcode shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t determine your destiny,â&#x20AC;? CEF CEO Sarah Taylor said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;School leavers

from rural and regional Australia have just as much potential as kids who grow up in the city but are being locked out of further education because of financial pressures and a lack of access to opportunities.â&#x20AC;?

Ms Taylor said CEF is committed to levelling the higher education playing field for rural and regional students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I talk to students and families from rural Australia one reason kids are not going on to further education is because they simply canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to move away from home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When a young person has to relocate for further study it costs more than $30,000 a year just for rent and living costs. Add to that course fees, textbooks and equipment and the hurdle is just too high in a lot of cases.

Relocation costs, accommodation and living expenses are closing the door on opportunity for a lot of country kids and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just not fair.â&#x20AC;?

Macquarie University are the major sponsor of the CEF 2017 Scholarship Guide. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Macquarie University recognises the special challenges

that students from regional and remote areas face in accessing higher education, not least the additional costs involved in relocation. We are proud to partner with the Country Education Foundation in producing this comprehensive and user-friendly compendium of financial support available to these students from a wide range of sources,â&#x20AC;? Director, Widening Participation, Ruth Tregale, said.

Origin Foundation have also partnered with CEF on this project. The Head of the Origin Foundation, Sean Barrett, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Education allows young people to realise their career aspirations. We know students in rural and regional areas often do not have the same access to the educational opportunities of those in metropolitan areas.

Our support of the Scholarships Guide is one way we can foster educational and career achievements of youth in rural Australia.â&#x20AC;?

The CEF 2017 Scholarship Guide is available to search now at www.cef.org.au.

The newly selected 2017 Scholars will be formally announced at the Awards Dinner on the Thursday night at the Ian McLachlan Room, Adelaide Oval.

The conference is being held September 14-16 at the Adelaide Convention Centre.

Following the conference, a regional tour â&#x20AC;&#x201C; involving visits

to leading primary producers and agribusinesses â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will be held on Kangaroo Island from Saturday 17 to Monday 19 September.

Objective measurement - world record pace Far left: Objective measurement technologies include whole of carcase x-ray systems.

Left: Meat & Livestock Australia’s Managing Director Richard Norton said objective measurement has the potential to transform the red meat industry by improving efficiency and underpinning a new, value based pricing model.

The Australian red meat industry is positioning itself as a world leader in the use of objective measurement technologies, Meat & Livestock Australia’s (MLA) Managing Director Richard Norton said today.

Mr Norton detailed the plan to advance objective measurement systems through the red meat value chain at the East Gippsland Beef Conference in Bairnsdale, Victoria.

Mr Norton said the plan, developed by MLA with industry partners, will drive the adoption and use of new objective measurement systems and technology from farm gate to dinner plate.

MLA would also create new ways for generating objectively measured data and ensure transparent feedback systems through all stages of the value chain, he said.

“Objective measurement has the potential to transform the red meat industry by improving efficiency and underpinning a new, value based pricing model,” Mr Norton said.

“If delivered successfully, the returns across the value chain are

estimated to be in the region of $250 million per year by 2030.”

Mr Norton said MLA’s plan was the culmination of 20 years of research investment across the red meat industry and included the development and roll out of world leading on-farm and offfarm precision measurement technologies coupled with integrated feedback systems.

“Our aim is to fast-track the commercialisation of these technologies,” Mr Norton said.

“This will see the progression of measurement systems that provide objective information on a wide range of areas such as eating quality, carcase yield and grading, market specifications, feedbase, nutrition, reproduction, animal health and welfare, and traceability.”

Examples of objective measurement technologies include: • On-farm 3D camera imaging – using cameras to measure indicative body composition characteristics of cattle and predict lean meat yield, which includes meat, bone and fat, and eating quality. This will help producers achieve market

specifications and receive payment based on expected carcase traits and subsequent value.

• Whole of carcase x-ray systems – developed by MLA in conjunction with Scott Automation and Robotics for optimising lamb and beef boning and cutting operations. MLA, Scott and Murdoch University have recently demonstrated an additional opportunity in the high precision measurement of lean meat yield with these systems.

• Hyperspectral camera – using enhanced images of loin eye muscles to better measure the colour and size of the most valuable carcase products and provide intra muscular fat marbling measurements.

• Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) – used to analyse the fat, moisture and protein content of meat and other quality traits such as meat colour, ultimate pH and ossification.

Mr Norton said many in the industry had been vocal in their desire for more objective measurement and value based pricing systems.

“Industry bodies and red meat

producers who sell livestock directly to processors have often expressed concerns about the validity of carcase measurements that determine the payment they receive,” Mr Norton said.

“Objective measurement technology – used effectively throughout the value chain – can bring an end to the debate and ensure greater efficiency and trust throughout the industry.

“Australia already leads the world in eating quality science and with this plan we will lead the world in objective carcase measurement too.”

The objective measurement project is one of the leading projects within MLA’s Value Chain Digital Strategy, launched by Mr Norton in July.

The Strategy aims to empower every participant at every point in the value chain by harnessing the multitude of new digital technologies and big data.

The project is being advanced with the support of a $4.8 million Australian Government grant secured by a collaboration of researchers led by MLA to develop new live animal and carcase measurement technology.

Stamina GT5 lucerne a stand-out performer for grazing tolerance PGG Wrightson Seeds Stamina® GT5 has emerged from long testing processes, both locally and internationally, as a standout performer delivering excellent persistency, acceptable winter dormancy, strong pest and disease resistance, and yields equal to the best standard cultivars.

James Sewell, PGG Wrightson Seeds Research and Development Manager, says that there are a lot of lucerne products that claim to be ‘grazing tolerant’ but the fact is not many have been tested under the internationally recognised ‘Standard Test Protocol’ in the same way Stamina GT5 has.

“The results of this rigorous testing, along with the subsequent trials and published literature clearly show that Stamina GT5 is one of the best lucernes for grazing tolerance,” said James.

South-west NSW producers Steve and Genevieve Affleck, turned to Stamina GT5 four years ago to improve their prime lamb production and haven’t looked back.

“What started out as an experiment across five hectares of our property in Wombat, has genuinely paid off,” says Steve.

“We started using Stamina GT5 four years ago when we needed to improve our pastures for persistency and to establish a high tolerance to grazing.

Stamina GT5 lucerne has certainly delivered that.”

The husband and wife team run a first cross ewe enterprise with some composites. Running two lambing seasons; in autumn and spring annually meant they needed consistent feed throughout the year.

“Our biggest issue for pasture management is the region’s dry summers and wet winters. Here like most of NSW once the real summer bites a lot of your grasses are just useless. This is when the persistence of Stamina GT5

comes into its own,” says Steve.

“Stamina GT5 has been a great way to help bridge the gap in the feed when other grasses and clovers are not available,” he said.

Initially, Steve and Genevieve trialled dual pasture options on their property. The first, a pure lucerne stand that comprised 5ha of Stamina GT5 lucerne sown in the autumn four years ago. This was sown at 12kg/ ha and was primarily for finishing lambs. Another 10ha was sown in 2015, and a further 15ha this year in 2016. The second was a pasture mix incorporating Stamina GT5 lucerne (3kg/ha), sub clover (2kg/ha), tall fescue (3kg/ha) and phalaris (2kg/ha). Steve sowed 10ha in 2015, primarily for his joined ewes and to provide highquality feed during lambing.

Both pastures were sown using a small air-seeder with a five-inch spacing to keep plant population dense per square metre, and to have a high level of ground cover.

“It’s only a very small spacing but the resulting ground coverage and grazing tolerance in both pasture options have been exceptional,” Steve says.

“We are lucky if we give the stand two weeks’ rest between grazing. It’s still really thick and dense. We wouldn’t have lost more than 2% coverage even after four years of hard grazing and we have had no issues with pests in the pure Stamina GT5 lucerne stand.”

Sheep performance is another area Steve and Genevieve have experienced outstanding results.

Steve said: “On the 5ha of pure Stamina GT5 lucerne stand, we turned off more than 400 lambs in the last year, while the same area carried up to 20 lambs/ha at any one time.”

He added that lambs also gained an extra 2kg of weight and turned off two weeks earlier than lambs that were finished on oats.

“We found that finishing on the Stamina GT5 lucerne actually

gets better quality lambs quicker than having them on grazing oats. That’s why we’re pushing now to put so much Stamina GT5 in. It just gives us that flexibility with a quality feed and the sheep perform well on it.”

Steve and Genevieve are also upbeat about hay harvested from the Stamina GT5 lucerne.

“With our last cut we averaged nine five-foot-round bales/ha of excellent quality hay,” said Steve.

“We had just sold the lambs and thought, we’ll lock it up and see what it does. After some timely rain, it took off and we decided to cut it for hay. The sheep eat the lot so it’s beautiful hay, it really is and it retains its leaf really well,” Steve added.

James said: “it’s great to see Steve and Genevieve achieving such excellent yield and quality over the warmer months with Stamina GT5.”

“It demonstrates that maintaining stand density, improved persistence, quality and yield can be achieved in lucerne cultivars that have been selected for grazing tolerant characteristics.”

James explained that unlike Stamina GT5, many cultivars have not been subjected to the standard test protocols under the harsh Australian conditions and as such, producers should be cautious when assessing and purchasing cultivars claiming grazing tolerance.

“If this claim is made, it is strongly recommended that producers request evidence and data to prove that it was run according to the industry standard test protocol,” he said.

Prime Wagga cattle The reduced numbers and plainer quality created mixed price trends at Wagga Wagga. Numbers fell by more than 1,000 as farmers are now assured of abundant spring conditions, with up to 50ml of rain predicted for NSW this week.

The one positive trend was quality well-bred weaner heifers suitable to feed-on, which made up to 389c/kg. Softer competition from restockers and some feedlots for a range of young steers led to some weaker results. Steers returning to the paddock under 320kg averaged 385c a cheaper trend of 27c/kg.

Weaner heifer quality slipped this week, with increased numbers in store condition. The plainer quality led to prices dipping as low as a 290c, while the better conditioned lines made from 344c to 383c a cheaper trend of 17c/kg.

Feeder steers were once again well supplied, with a few feedlot companies underpinning the market for the medium weight portion. Wellbred bred steers lifted 3c selling from 345c to 393c/kg to average $1642/ head. Sales of lighter weight steers varied, with opportunistic feedlots at times the market drivers. The better sales of 330-400kg ranged from 340c-393c/kg.

Similarly the market for light feeder heifers was solid with prices unchanged, while the medium weights sold 14c cheaper. The bulk of the medium weight heifers made from 336c-356c/kg.

Prices for top quality slaughter cattle were generally cheaper, however prices did fluctuate and off the top trade cattle generally eased 8c per Kilogram. The best trade price recorded was for fresh well finished steers which sold at 399c/ kg. Medium weight trade heifers lacked finish and failed to attract all buyers which resulted in a cheaper trend of 9c/kg. The main run of heifers fetched 334-369c/kg.

Grown steers and bullock numbers declined and prices were generally unchanged to 9c dearer. In dollars per head terms heavy bullocks sold to $2489 or the equivalent of 368c/kg. Heavy grown steers were keenly sought by both southern and northern processors making from 310c to 365c/kg.

This week in the cow market rates bounced 8c/kg.

Better sales of heavy cows included European cross lines which made from 280 to 304c/ kg. Leaner grades were 6c dearer making from 235c to 280c/kg.

PROPERTY MUSTER

Wednesday August 24, 2016

Nimmitabel main street Heather Anoleck Dip FMBM

Finance Consultant Whatever your home loan requirements, let me find the best solution for you!

A beautifully restored property with some work still required to complete the renovation: • Advantage of mixed zoning – commercial or residential • Generous parcel of land at 1012m2 • Rear lane access with large three bay shed at back of property • Large open floor

ARE YOU SELF-EMPLOYED, OR A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER WANTING TO BUY A HOUSE OR COMMERCIAL PREMISES? FINDING IT HARD TO GET FINANCE? I often hear from people that they are struggling getting finance through their Bank as they are self-employed.

Or they want to buy their business premises, but the rates are so much higher. Come and talk to me.

I have years of experience in reading business financials and tax returns, and know how to present them to the Lender in an application. I also know which Lender’s policies will give you more chance of an approval, as they do have different assessment policies.

There are also some Lenders out there who are offering business loans on low residential rates, using either residential or commercial security. One Lender at the moment, has a variable rate of under 4.50% for business loans, with either residential or commercial security. To find out more, or to see if it would suit your needs, contact me for an obligation free appointment.

I also have built up some connections and referral partners, so that if I am unable to assist directly, I can refer you to someone who may be able to. If you are looking for equipment finance or leasing, I can arrange for someone to contact you to discuss options.

Being self-employed also means you need to look after other areas of your financial situation, to ensure you are on the right track. Damian Toms is a senior financial planner, who can offer advice on areas such as personal insurance, super, wealth creation, and retirement planning. I confidently refer my clients to him, and receive very positive feedback. I can arrange for him to call you or make an appointment to meet.

So, whatever your current situation is, I am more than happy to have a chat and see if I can improve your situation.

The other students, including some from Cooma North Public, Cooma Public, Bombala Public and Jerangle Public, participated in other activities for the morning. These included boomerang throwing and ball games and traditional dot painting. The activities were followed by a barbeque for which 1400 sausages were ordered.

SIR WILLIAM HUDSON

MEMORIAL CENTRE AGED CARE FACILITY

Burnima’s ghostly past revealed The iconic Burnima Homestead will be featuring on the Channel 9 series ‘Unreal Estate’ due to its interesting early history and the fact it is believed to have two resident ghosts.

The program will be airing later this month after a twoweek selection process to see if the homestead met the requirements for the show.

The show’s creators were looking for something out of the ordinary and Burnima’s amazing early history caught their attention.

Burnima Homestead is an 1890’s late Victorian Gothic Style Homestead built by grazier Henry Tollemache Edwards.

It is comprised of the typical Victorian morning room, withdrawing room, formal dining room, entrance hall, study, smoking room, billiards room, servants quarters, and 10 bedrooms.

It was expected a house comprising of some 32 rooms in total would in those days require

a full complement of staff.

There was a butler, house keeper, companion and five servants to run the house and attend to her occupants.

There were also three full time gardeners, a gate keeper, laundress, fender smith and horsemen. Not to mention farm hands.

The homestead stands as a testament to the early pioneering days and the prosperity of the Monaro.

“I am very fortunate to be the custodian of this early piece of Australia’s history, as so much of it has been lost over time.

“Burnima is a rare and complete example of Victorian Period homestead as it escaped the 50s and 80s updates. I believe it to be a rare capsule,” said the custodian of the homestead, Steve Rickett.

The homestead is still surrounded by its 120-yearold, seven-acre woodland and garden, which creates a barrier from the 21st century.

The garden is comprised of rare conifers, spruces, sugar maples and toralosis.

At the time of Federation in 1900 the owner’s brother Mr Ronald Campbell of ‘Cambalong’ was appointed the chairman of the committee forming the Capital.

Bombala was chosen as the Nation’s First Choice of Capital as it was the only site out of the 45 selected that met the criteria.

“I was very delighted to think that a piece of the pioneering Monaro and its rich history has appealed to Channel 9 and hopefully also its viewers.

“Myself and Smudgey would like to invite any visitors and groups to come and tour the homestead and its old gardens and visit the township of Bombala,” Mr Rickett said.

If anyone would like to make a booking for a guided tour please contact Steve on (02) 64583042 or contact@burnima.com.au or www.burnima.com.au

SWHMC is asking any relatives or friends who may wish to visit a resident to please phone prior to arriving as we have a confirmed outbreak of influenza.

When our facility is managing a situation such as this it is preferred that when family or friends visit the residents that all precautions are taken to avoid any possible risk of infection. An area will be arranged where you can meet your family away from other residents.

Often in the community people become ill with the flu or even gastro and they start to feel better. When they do start to feel better they come in and visit relatives or friends in our facility.

Unfortunately when residents are older and in an environment such as an aged care home, they become more susceptible to illnesses such as influenza because of the communal environments and the frequent visitors.

Please consider the health of your family member and the health of all other residents when you are visiting.

Please do not visit any residents if you have any illness OR you have been ill in the 48 hour period before the visit. Sometimes we can not be sure that we are going to become ill and also visit residents. IF you have come in contact with someone else who is unwell please consider that you may be infectious without even knowing.

The Band of the Royal Military College will be performing 2pm Sunday 11th September at the Multifunction Centre. The concert is a fundraiser for SWHMC and is guaranteed to be a great show.

Tickets are available at the Visitors Centre, The Fabric Salon, Cooma Ex-services Club and at reception at SWHMC. A group of our residents on a recent shopping morning out at the Coles arcade had the pleasure of being treated like royalty by the lovely ladies at Amanda's coffee shop. Our residents love to have a cuppa in the arcade as it gives them an opportunity to meet with friends and catch up on events. If you ever see us please stop and say hello! or better still sit down and share a cuppa with us.

MHS U15 girls basketball champions!

43

Junior footy auction

The MHS winning girls team.

Thursday August 11 saw two teams from Monaro High School travel to Bega to contest the Eurobodalla Zone Basketball Championship.

In the girls competition Monaro were undefeated throughout the round robin stage defeating all four of the other schools – Batemans Bay, Moruya, Bombala and Eden. All five schools were evenly matched all day and there was a count back between Eden and Bombala to see which team would be Monaro’s opponent in the final.

That proved to be Eden and the Monaro girls knew it would again be a tight tussle as many had played their opposition before in the annual clash between Cooma Condors and the Merimbula Sharks.

Monaro proved too strong at the end of a very close game to be crowned the U15s Girls Basketball Eurobodalla Zone Champions. The girls will now travel to Bomaderry to compete in the South Coast Region Final Eight Series against winning schools from Northern Illawarra, Southern Illawarra, Shoalhaven and Highlands zones on Thursday August 25.

Team: Baker Kaesi, Blacka Chelsea, Childs Zara, Fraser Sarah, Hopkin Emma, Hunt Rach, Ingram Georgina, Jones Hayley, Lunt Chelsea, Sopniewski Abby, Trevanion Chloe The boys’ competition proved heartbreaking.

In a tough pool they

defeated both Moruya and Bombala but were held to a draw by Narooma. This meant a count back for placings in the semi-finals and unfortunately Narooma had a slightly better for and against percentage.

This result put them against the top team of the other pool – Batemans Bay. After going score for score the entire game Monaro led with less than 20 seconds left in regular time. With seconds left on the clock Batemans Bay scored to equalise and send the game into extra time.

Three minutes of extra time was set and again it went score for score.

It was a frustrating time with on-court decisions and shots not falling our way.

Batemans Bay led with only seconds remaining but unfortunately we did not find the net. It finished off a tough day and the boys had left nothing on the court.

Team: Allen Archie, Asanovski Jacob, Audley-Coote Nick, Bartlett Darnell, Caldwell Keegan, Deane Will, GeachKopecky Andreas, Haines Tai, Hopkin Matthew, Pearce Bayley.

Thanks to Cooma Basketball President Brian Geach who assisted with coaching and refereeing on the day. Thank you also to Jenny Fraser, Jenna Sopniewski and Steven Hopkin who assisted with transportation – without your help our students would not have achieved this success.

A signed 2012 Bulldogs jersey will be up for grabs at the Junior Blue Heelers Auction Night on August 27 at the Globe Hotel in Bombala.

Above: Bayley Pearce Below: Kaesi Baker

Up for some auction action? Then make your way to the Globe Hotel on August 27 and help support the Bombala and District Junior Blue Heelers.

The Junior Heelers have teamed up with the local Men of League to present an exciting charity auction night, with proceeds going straight back into the club to buy much needed training gear and other items the expanding group needs.

“Last year we had three teams playing, but this year fielded six strong age groups, which for a small country town like Bombala is very encouraging and fantastic for our small community,” a club spokesperson said.

The auction itself will kick off at 7pm, but with meals available at the Globe from 6pm, and meat raffles also being enjoyed, why not make a night of it?

Of course there are some exciting auction items in the mix, with some of the more popular buys sure to be the fully signed 2016 footy jerseys coming from the Cowboys, Raiders, Sharks and Warriors.

There’s also a framed and signed Bulldogs jersey from their Grand Final year in 2012 when they were runners-up in the premiership.

But if you’re not after a jersey there’s plenty of other great items to bid for, including tons of wood, dressed lambs, signed country music CDs, accommodation packages, gift vouchers and a series of both car and footy items that might even come in handy for Father’s Day. Payment must be made on the night, either by cash or cheque, and buyers are reminded that the ATM will carry only a limited amount, so it may be wise to come prepared!

The Junior Heelers and Men of League look forward to some keen support for the auction, which in turn will benefit the district’s kids.

To find out more, or to make a donation towards the auction, please contact Rolly on 0402 566 102 or Katrina on 0438 473 583.

Or simply come along and join in the auction fun on August 27 at Bombala’s Globe Hotel!

A series of 2016 signed NRL jerseys will go under the hammer.

Bombala Public students go for gold at SRC Olympic games In an afternoon of fun and sun, the students of the Bombala Public School participated in a range of activities making up the “SRC Olympics” last Friday.

In their Peer Support Groups the children rotated through five activities, beginning with a thong and gumboot toss, which led to an obstacle course through the climbing equipment.

Next, they leapt or stepped over some mini-hurdles to get to a small green where they needed to tap a golf ball into a cup.

The next activity, the Chariot Challenge, required the students to ride a mini-trolley across the basketball court, with this providing lots of laughs.

The final activity was a “race in armour” where children donned

a chest plate and leg protectors and carried a shield as they ran a set distance.

Good-natured enjoyment, big children helping little children, good sportsmanship and lots of smiles and laughter all combined to make up the very successful SRC Olympics.

AUCTION NIGHT Hosted by Bombala Blue Heelers & Men of League

CCFC Cats out of the semifinals The CCFC Southern Cats have bowed out of the 2016 competition, going down to ADFA in the first round of the semifinals.

Having narrowly lost to ADFA in the last round of the competition and missing several key players, the Cats knew this would be a tough round.

Despite being understrength, the Cats performed extremely well in a game that could have gone either way if not for a few key 50m penalties in ADFA’s favour.

“I can’t fault the effort from the guys. With injuries from the week before, they gave it their best

and unfortunately weren’t close enough,” outgoing coach Ross Henningsen said.

The game was close for the first two quarters but opened up for ADFA in the third quarter when discipline let the cats down.

“It was just little things, but when it comes to finals footy you can’t afford to give away penalties.

“The 50s helped open up the scoring. It would have been much closer, down to the wire,” Henningsen said.

The Cats had several opportunities in the fourth to level the game but ADFA held out to

walk away with the win 11.9-75 to 8.7-55.

The Cats will enjoy some time off over summer before preseason at the end of the year.

Henningsen said he is happy with his team’s effort throughout 2016 and expects big things for the Cats next year.

“They’re not going to be losing any players and they’ll definitely improve for next season.

“There’s exciting times ahead for the club. There’s a lot of positives. Some players took their game to a new level which will be great for the club next year,” Henningsen said.

Colts hit the field in their penultimate round

South East Embroidery Under 7s Round 13 saw the Cooma Colts up against the South Tuggeranong Blues. With a very cold start to the game it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long for Nate Stokes to warm up and cross over the line for the Colts first try of the game. Great defence and tackles showed from Jermaine Bartlett, Mitchell Fletcher and Keeley- May Usher- Rodahl kept the blues working hard. We were going try for try in the first third and great pace and skill showed by Jesse Hurford saw him cross over the white line to land him a double to take the Colts into the second third one try in front. Strong runs and hard hit ups from Harper Woolf, Kurik Nelson and Tyler Lee gave the colts some good metres.

Nate Stokes still had more fuel in the tank and managed to score another three tries for the colts taking his amazing total to four tries for the game. The Colts were too strong for the Blues and came away with a win 24-16. Try Scorers were Jesse Hurford (2) and Nate Stokes (4) The Medal this week went to Jesse Hurford and the Certificate went to Nate Stokes Snowy River Painting Under 8s â&#x20AC;&#x201C; White The Cooma Colts travelled to Canberra on Sunday to take on the Gungahlin Bulls for their last away game for the season. The Colts took a bit to fire once again which saw the Bulls cross for the first try of the match. The Colts slowly wound up with some solid runs from Bailey Benn and Jackson Cook, which set the wheels in motion for Kyte Lee to cross for the Colts. The Bulls tried hard to answer back, but the Colts defensive line had finally set with a massive effort from all of the Colts and in particular through some bone rattling tackles from Cooper Lee, Lachlan Burchall and Lachlan Bryan. Othon Morgan made massive metres from dummy half and provided great back up defence from fullback. The Bulls couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find an answer to the Colts defence and although their own defence was quite strong, they were put to bed with a double to Riley McKenzie to seal victory for the Colts 16 points to 4 over the Bulls. Try scorers were Riley McKenzie (2) and Kyte Lee. Conversions from Lachlan Burchall and Cooper Lee. Player of the week went to Cooper Lee and the Maccas award went to Lachlan Burchall.

Monaro Constructions Under 8s â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Black Round Thirteen saw the Cooma Colts under eights Black travel to Gowrie in Canberra for their last away game of the season. The Colts came up against the Valley Dragons White team. The Colts drew first blood with a try and a converted goal, but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t long before the Dragons levelled the score. Tries and goals were traded back and forth, with the Dragons finally running out victors 26 to 16. This was probably the best defensive effort and game the Colts have played for the season, great to see these new players to the game starting to understand the play. Again a big thanks to

Riley McKenzie and Lachlan Bryan from the under 8 White team for playing and helping the Black team before moving on and playing their own game. Tries were scored one each by Riley McKenzie, Manson Sandeberg and Rhylee Robinson- Rosenbaum. Two of our tries were converted and these were kicked, one each by Colby Douch and Rhylee Robinson- Rosenbaum. Blaze Podger was very solid in defence and James Burke ran strongly with the ball. Our playerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medal was awarded to Laith Podger, our youngest player on the paddock, but he kept turning up in defence, taking on much bigger players. Well done to the boys today, with each game we can see improvements right across the park in how they play the game. We would also like to thank team sponsors Monaro Constructions.

The Sports Power Under 10s The score was 30-34 the boys losing in the last 5 second with Crookwell sneaking over the line, scoring the winning try in a extremely well played intense game. All the boys played an outstanding game resulting in everyone being award a point.

This game was hard to look away from. From the first pass to the last try it was an exciting game, the Cooma Colts were hungry and looked at the Crookwell Green Devils like they were hamburgers. The boys came together backing each other up with outstanding defensive and forward moving lines with some unbelievable tries that had everyone cheering from the side line.

Hugh Waldren had an outstanding game showing great tackling and ball skills; Lee Morgan was a strong force showing his speed on the field. Jacob Smith always puts his heart into the game and showing awesome skills as dummy half, Josh â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Noseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Williams lived up to his name pushing through the Crookwellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense making great ground. Jack Roberson showed that training hard has improved his ball and tackling skills bringing these abilities to the game, helping out his team mates. Cameron Filtness continues to show great talent as first receiver, playing great game. Mitchell Reed chased a great kick by Rhys Cleverly and in a quick thinking turned around and scored us a fantastic try. Rhys was hard to pin down putting in hard legwork for his team. Lucas Umback set to help out his teammates with hard tackles. Clayton Clarke, hungry for the ball, moved up the line and was always there to push the defensive line back. Charlie Fleming played a strong game, making ground and big tackles. Tom Rudd played his best game of the season showing great effort in all areas on the field resulting in well deserved Player of the Week. The Hit Man Award, Zane Usher-Rodhal, helped support all his team mates in defense and attack.

Player of the week and the Hit Award Tom Rudd.

Well done boys. The boys play their last home game this Sunday at 9.50am against West Woden at the show ground.

Highland Ground Spreading Under 11s The Highland Ground Spreading Under 11â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s took on the Gungahlin Bulls on a frigid day in Canberra on Sunday. The Colts started off well, with an early try to Cooper Inskip after a determined run. Jordan Williams also got a try after another trademark â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;jinx and away,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; running 40 meters to score. Not long before half time, the boys read the play and realised there was no fullback at home. So Louie kicked the ball from one side, over the opposition to the other side. With the speedy Justin McDonald on the spot to score a well thought out try. The big men of the side Jack McPherson, Diezel Barrett, Jordyn Williams, Tom Bromfield and Cooper Inskip did a great job in the guts stopping their momentum. The Colts lead 18 nil at the break. After the break, the Colts werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t switched on, and the Bulls broke through some flimsy defence to score. After a get together behind the posts, and a bit of a rev, the boys came back to focus. The two super subs were on, Jacory Hart and Talon Kelly. Talon at dummy half scooted out, and got himself two long distant tries, too fast. Jacory Hart saved two tries from his tackling efforts and also soared high to defuse a bomb.

Maison Turner was tackling well and also had some good gallops. Talon crashed over from dummy half to get his third try of the day, and the Colts won 32 to 10. Best and Fairest 3 points Tom Bromfield, 2 points Louie Mould, 1 point Jack McPherson. Choc Awards Jacory and Talon. Medal to Diezel Barrett.

Franks Butchery Under 13s The Franks Butchery Cooma Colts U13â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s travelled to Gungahlin on Sunday to the Gungahlin Bulls. In bitterly cold conditions the Colts took a whit to get going but with some strong running from James Dyball and Clinton Filtness and good ball movement from Jesse Eljuga and Lachlan McGufficke, then Brock Halls was able to step through the defence to score the first try. Soon after this one of the Gungahlin players was injured and there was a long delay in play.

Play resumed with only 10 minutes left on the clock, with James Dyball and Brock Halls scoring to make the final score 12-0 in favour of the Colts. In the shortened game best for the Colts were Caleb Emerton 1 point, Brock Halls 2 points and James Dyball, receiving 3 points. Our last game is against Crookwell next Sunday at Cooma.

Thank you to our First Aider Ray Galvin for his assistance in helping the injured Gungahlin player and to the league safe and other officials on the day. Also thanks to the parents and friends who travelled to support the boys.

Cooma Masters take on Queanbeyan in basketball

The Cooma Masters Basketball men and women’s teams took on Queanbeyan over the weekend in a warm up for a carnival scheduled in September.

In the men’s, Cooma won confidently thanks to their height and size and a few old blokes who came out of retirement.

They currently have several of the younger players still

playing local competition, giving them an advantage.

The women narrowly went down to the visitors in a hard fight and physical encounter and will look promising when the carnival rolls around.

The carnival will feature around eight teams from around the Monaro, South Coast and Southern Tablelands, including

Mossvale, Young, Bowral, Goulburn, Cooma, Queanbeyan and Ulladulla.

The idea of establishing a relationship with the Queanbeyan club is to help promote the junior program and lead to more carnivals for the 12s, 14s and 16s in the future.

High Lake take out number one spot in volleyball finals

The Bombala runners-up, Penguins.

O MA UNITE D CO

The winners of the Bombala Volleyball competiton, High Lake.

The Bombala Volleyball competition wrapped up last Friday night with High Lake beating the undefeated Penguins in an absolute nail biter.

High Lake won the first set 25-17 before the Penguins snatched the second 26-24.

High Lake went on to win the next two 25-23 and 27-25 against a team playing with four players, a position they were in for the majority of the year.

The Penguins team was made of of Igot and Kurt Pajusczok, Carol Reid, Richard Peadon and Simone Hillyer who was absent on the night.

The overall winners, High Lake, consisted of Gary Herron, Jess Herron, Dic McInnes, Scott Challman, Bec Richardson, Casey Richardson, Ryan Simpson and Ben Fuiono who was absent.

“It could have gone either way, it was a lot of fun and that’s what Bombala volleyball is about,” spokesman Gary Herron said.

The club is now looking forward to next year when competition resumes around Easter.

In the meantime, representatives of the club have been working on establishing a beach volleyball competition for the summer.

Workers have been busy converting an old tennis court in Cathcart in to a beach volleyball court.

The drainage is completed and the sand is in so when the lines are done the court will be ready as soon as the weather improves.

Anyone who wants to take part in the competition can call Gary Herron on 64583947.

Saturday’s Skeet Shoot It was a good turn out of skeet shooters, with some new faces welcomed to the club. New shooters are always welcome at the skeet shoots.

Shooters had very cold winter weather to contend with, but all braved the weather for some good results. Thank you to our sponsor for the day, The Berridale Inn. Winners will enjoy the meat trays that were presented as prizes.

Doug Blewitt took out first place in the 1-50 target handicap skeet championship with 56+3/59. Second

A second chance for the Tigers State Cross Country The Cooma division two men knew they had a big task ahead of them as they stepped onto an icecold cow paddock of a pitch this past Saturday.

A win against the Australian National University (ANU) team would put them straight into the grand final match. After finishing the season minor premiers, they were quietly confident and up for the challenge.

Cooma weren’t quite settled during the first half of the game, playing some rushed football that was not indicative of their usual form.

Several opportunities arose from the fancy footwork of striker Zach Schoon and great movement of Oscar Schoon and Ian Elliot.

However, Cooma went into half time down ANU 1-0 Cooma.

After a calming half time talk from Coach Walker, Cooma took to the pitch more focused but unfortunately conceded early after the half time whistle blew.

It was from here on that Cooma dug deep and displayed the characteristic heart attributed to all Cooma sides, especially evident in the tireless efforts of Keffan ‘Shmiddy’ Smith up the wing.

It was then that a beautifully struck floating free kick from Lance Redmond found the head of the youngster Hayden Smith like a heat seeking missile, who began his late run from close to the halfway line to absolutely punish the ball past a disillusioned ANU keeper and into the back of the net.

This was exactly the lift that Cooma needed.

However, the elation was short lived when the referee went on a card give-away spree, even delivering a yellow to a Cooma player for the words of a spectator on the sideline.

Shortly afterwards the same player voiced his opinions too strongly about some questionable decisions as the referee seemed to have forgotten his spectacles and was awarded a red card for his

efforts.

With this decision the Cooma squad was reduced to 10 men for the remainder of the second half, and the challenge for our boys to reclaim the lead greatly increased.

It was Zach Schoon who answered without hesitation when, as he’d done all game, turned the ANU defender with ease and hit the ball right on the sweet spot sending it sailing to the top right corner of the goal.

The keeper never stood a chance. This levelled the score at 2-2 and if Cooma could hold out it would push the game into extra time.

Some staunch defending from Cooma’s Rampal, Redmond and Bogatek, coupled with the brilliant keeping of Big Al Bruce in goals kept the Tigers in the game, with every touch from ANU revealing their newfound scared and frantic view on reality.

Cooma went into extra time exhausted, yet optimistic and for the duration of both halves they ran rings around ANU. The strength of Jake Schoon in the middle of the pitch and some excellent movement of the ball

by Matty Bruce, Dave Reading and captain Iain Elliot saw many opportunities arise for Cooma, but they just couldn’t quite seal the deal.

An unlucky deflection late in the second half of extra time gave ANU the lucky break they needed and they finished 3-2, a goal ahead of the Cooma side.

All is not lost for Cooma as they go into next Saturday’s game with a second shot at a finals position. With this experience under their belt, the boys will continue to fight for their rightful place on top of the competition and they would like to invite all supporters to come and cheer them on next Saturday 27th August at the University of Canberra fields, Kirinari st Bruce at 11am.

Three Cooma North Public School Louis Mould and Abbie Hamilton students competed in the State competed extremely well.

National Premier League Referee Brenna runs PB in Champs

Starting out playing soccer for the Merimbula Grasshoppers at the age of six, Bombala’s Theo Dracopoulos is now making a name for himself as a State and National level football referee.

Having just turned 18 himself, Theo can referee at the State level for the Under 18s and younger, but has impressed even the National Premier League with his skills.

Theo has dedicated years to his soccer playing – and the travel involved in playing away from Bombala – and was first urged to have a go at refereeing by the late Karl Posselt of Merimbula.

He took to it well, and had been refereeing junior and senior

games for four years before Ray Hale of the Far South Coast Referee’s Association put Theo forward to referee at both the Country Cup in Goulburn and Branch Championships at Nowra in June 2016.

And things certainly escalated from there!

Theo attracted attention during the Championships, with an assessor from Sydney being so impressed with his refereeing skills that he recommended Theo to referee at the State level.

This saw Theo trialled at Football NSW’s Valentines Sports Park with refereeing at the State Titles in June.

Feeling that he had performed well, Theo was still shocked and

thrilled when he was told that he was being marked to referee at National Premier League level.

Since that time, Theo has been to Sydney refereeing at both State and National Premier League levels.

Exciting times indeed for a boy from Bombala, and his family and friends are all certainly proud of his achievement. His enthusiasm and dedication to soccer and refereeing has allowed him to achieve recognition.

Looking ahead, Theo will be travelling to Griffith towards the end of September to referee at State Titles and from there hopefully back to more National Competition Games in Sydney.

Young Brenna Clayton made a personal best, finishing the Australian Cross Country Championships in less than 17 minutes. Finishing in 74th place, Brenna’s final time was 16:51. She competed against 81 other runners in the 4.2km event on Saturday 20 August. The conditions were less than ideal at Stromlo Forest Park Canberra, with Canberra putting one of its special winter days.

The temperature hovered around 8 degrees with a wind chill factor of 0 degrees. With the light showers and the gusty wind blasting off the Snowy Mountains, the women’s uniforms didn’t give the girls any protection at all. The girls from the northern states

found the weather condition beyond their wildest nightmare.

This was Brenna’s first time competing at an Australian Championships and also first time in Athletics ACT Team and found it a bit daunting and scary.

Brenna is eager to resume her Training for the Australian Youth Championships set down for March next year. Brenna is hopeful to make the Athletics ACT Team in 3km or 5km run and her pet event the Javelin.

She also has the NSW High Schools Championships coming up in a couple of weeks. Good luck Brenna.

Bombala’s Theo Dracopoulos has been refereeing soccer at a State level and has even impressed the National Premier League with his skills.

Cooma Red Devils U16 season ends Cooma took to the field in a must win game against the leading Division 1 team Daramalan.

Cooma were physically dominant against their opponent and played some quality rugby. Daramalan scored first, before Cooma hit back with a try from Bill Zammit.

Cooma again displayed their class when Jackson Stewart busted up the middle of the field who off loaded to Bailey Rogers who kicked the ball and dove over the line. This was followed by an easy conversion for James Cahill.

Again Daramalan hit back

with a try however it wasn’t long before Matti Chelin crossed the line to put Cooma in front 1714. Cooma dug deep and left everything on the field however a dropped ball and an intercept saw Daramalan finish with the win that unfortunately ended Cooma’s season 26-17. All the boys should hold their heads high for their performance in 2016 after completely dominating Division 2 undefeated. Then they moved up to Division 1 and held their own against the top ACT teams.

Points went to Bailey Rogers

3, Jackson Stewart 2, Keegan Caldwell 1 and James Cahill got the pig dog award. The boys would like to thank their Coach Peter Ingram for all his support and guidance you’re a legend, First aid officer Tammy Byrne for all her support this season, Marwa Hudson and Linda Squire for operating the canteen, behind the scene organisers Brian Coyte, Tim Fitzgerald, Peter and Michelle Corby and finally the parents and supporters.

Referee honoured with life membership Cooma based rugby league referee Ian Freeman has just been appointed a life member of the Group 16 Referees Association.

He was given the award by president of the association, Ray Inskip in recognition of his 20 years of service to refereeing.

Ian began his rugby league career as a player in the Monaro and NSW before joining the Western Suburbs in the NRL. He returned to the Group 16 and the Cooma Stallions in

1985 where he took up the role of coach after his stint in the NRL. Once he retired as a player Ian began refereeing and evolved in to a coordinator and monitor for young referees.

He supervises referees during a match and then helps them to improve on their performance.

Ian also sits on the Group 16 judiciary panel, which is a voluntary job and acts as an extra service to the area.

Upon receiving his award,

according to Group 16 president Dean Lynch, Ian was honoured and humbled.

“He is very worthy and he was lost for words.

“It couldn’t have gone to a better bloke who works in sport in the area.

“He was a tough footy player and now he is a no nonsense referee. He was a top line footy player and he’s transferred that in to being a top line referee,” Dean said.

Bombala bowls results Sunday 14 August Round 1 Mixed Pairs sponsored by Champions Shoes, R Joseph and G Hurley defeated R and R Yelds 30-21. A and D Dent defeated R Callaway and J Dallimore 42-7.

Dedicated bowlers brave wind chill factor over the weekend Some big winning margins on Wednesday with 20 shots being the largest and seven the smallest, with just 14 players involved.

Max Butler, Alby Mashall and Paul Cannell scored 19 shots over the first four ends against Mary Boller and visitors, Terry Gutterson and Graham Vale, extended their lead to 28/1 by end 10. The final score in favour of Max, Alby and Paul 32/12. Had Neil McGregor and Renate Winckel started their match with Judy Locker and Geoff Venables on end 14 they would have won 9/8. Unfortunately it started on end one and by 13 Judy and Geoff were in front 21/6 to give them a 29/15 win. The closest match was Peter Harris and Ron Wainwright v Mario Frezza and Mick Mayhew although nine shots over ends 14, 15 and 16 had Mario and Mick in front 24/12 which proved sufficient for them to win 30/23.

Just eight bowlers braved the cold windy conditions on Saturday for social bowls. Keith Goodwin and Max Butler made a good start against Judy Locker and Renate Winckel to lead 15/3 on end 12, then dropped five shots on 13 but Judy and Renate were unable to take advantage of it with Keith and Max going on to win 21/15. A feature of the match, Mary Obermaier and Geoff Venables v Mary Phillips and Graham Vale was 13 of the 21 ends were decided by

just one shot. Mary and Geoff won 11 of these and gained a narrow 16/14 victory.

On Sunday Brian Searle, Renate Winckel and Mark Buckley were 5/5 with Darren Collins, Mick Mayhew and

Judy Locker Giulio D’Amico on end six. By end 13 Brian, Renate and Mark had advanced to lead 16/5 and only scored one more shot but had enough on the board to win 17/13, Peter Marsicano

and Paul Cannell were cruising at 14/2 over Neil McGregor and Geoff Venables when the latter scored four shots on end 14. Unfortunately for Neil and Geoff their opponents did likewise the next end and went on to win 25/14.

Closing dates for entries for Club Fours and Triples have been extended to August 28 for the Fours and September 4 for the Triples. Starting dates will be advised when more is known of plans for the new Snowy Mountains Bowling Association. Enrolment forms for this Association are available at the Club and should be completed by all members of Cooma Men’s Bowling Club. A meeting to formalise this body will follow the District Annual General Meeting on 4th September 2016 in Cooma. All district bowlers are requested to attend.

In Zone Playoffs on August 13 and 14 there were some Cooma players involved in Singles and Pairs.

Presidents Reserve Singles Steve Maher defeated Geoff Venables 31/17, Senior Singles Steve Maher defeated Terry Croker 31/7, State Pairs Glen Dixon and Nick King defeated Brian Seears and John Schoon 22/11, State Senior Pairs John Vincent and Guilioi D’Amico defeated Alan Rowlinson and Geoff Parry 20/17 but lost in the final 13/23. Next weekend in the State Triples Brian Seears, Mel Storta and Daniel Clough will seek to represent the Zone at State Level. We wish them well.

Bombala students attend PASS excursion in ACT

A group of 15 students from Bombala High School travelled to Canberra on the annual Physical Activity & Sports Studies (PASS) excursion recently.

They accompanied 38 students from Eden Marine High School to participate in various different physical activities. These included a pump class at Club Lime, hitting golf balls at Canberra Pitch and Putt, rock climbing at Canberra Indoor Rock Climbing and some free time at Flip Out in Hume.

The pump class was a great way to start the day in Canberra, as the group had been on the bus for a couple of hours. The class was a mixture of light weights and compound movements.

Chloe Day, Jazzy Thompson and Lakeisha Clear set the standard for this session showing the boys how it’s done.

After lunch the group made their way to the Pitch and Putt, where students paired up and were given 100 gold balls to send flying. Blake Stevenson hit some solid distance reaching the 200m mark.

After all of the golf balls had been hit the group moved on to Hume where the last two activities were held.

Rock climbing had students spread out and all over the walls.

Logan Brownlie demonstrated some excellent upper body strength, climbing the vertical rope in 12 seconds.

doing a double somersault into the foam pit.

However, the highlight for some of our students was the 18 pizzas for dinner courtesy of Pizza Capers.

There was even a section upstairs where students could try rock climbing without harnesses with big foam mattresses underneath.

Last of all was Flip Out. This was a favourite for most students, here they could bounce and flip around on various different trampoline areas. Dylan Elton showed some exceptional skill,

A big thank you to Mr Hill (who previously taught at Bombala High School in 2011) and Mr Bulters from Eden Marine High School for organising such an excellent day of activities.

Students from Bombala High were as always excellent ambassadors for the school and should be commended for their excellent effort on the day.

Lakeisha Clear got into the Physical Activity & Sports Studies excursion in Canberra.

A valiant effort from Bombala in Reserve Grade final On Sunday 21 August much of the Bombala population would fill the spectator seats at the Bega football ground to help cheer on their Bombala Blue Heelers Reserve grade team in the 2016 Group 16 Grand Final. At the beginning of the year, various Group 16 committee members were reluctant to support Bombala submitting three grades (Firsts, Reserves and Ladies League Tag), suggesting they would not field enough numbers and proposing Bombala join with Tathra. Rather than succumbing to the pressure, the Bombala committee stood strong backing their little community, having faith that the passion for footy of the local boys would prevail.

Throughout the year, the Bombala Reserve grade team had instances where up to 9 or 10 men would have to sit out due to too many numbers – a problem not too many other clubs would have, let alone a smaller community such as Bombala. So not only did the team defy odds of making numbers each week, but they performed brilliantly throughout the year making it all the way to the top two, into the Grand Final.

Much of the success is attributable to the wonderful leadership from the Captain-Coach Clay Stewart.

Stewart has been a dominant name in Bombala’s football history throughout his life, his ability on the football field and professionalism off the field has gained absolute admiration and respect from his peers. Having the tough task of picking a 20 man squad from 30 odd players is always a difficult one, but judging by the success of the team this year it is fair to say Stewart has done both his team and town proud.

From the kick-off the Bombala boys would be forced to defend back to back sets, finding it difficult to get out of their own half. Nick Rosten would hit the ground hard only minutes in as he bravely took a high ball by putting his body on the line. Brother Alex would remain safe as houses in fullback with great support from Kitt Bryce out wide.

The game was shaping up to be a physical one. Matthew Stone ran the ball up hard as Ben Mooney would get away a kick to try and get the boys down the opposite end of the field. However with Bega given a

penalty only metres out they would eventually muscle their way over to the left of the uprights.

The score was taken to 4-0. The dominating running and tackles from both centres Jackson Standen and Ben Mooney was outstanding, able to lift the boys when needed.

After Bombala would receive some penalties they would finally get a taste of attacking position and it did not take long for Clay Stewart to execute a precision cut out ball to hit a flying Alex Rosten out wide who would stroll over for the Heelers. The eruption from the crowd was formidable and the boys were fired up knowing full well they were in this game. With the conversion unsuccessful the score remained locked at 4-4. The injection of Clay Clear was noticeable. His ability to break the line, gaining great metres for the team was instrumental as well as his dominating efforts in defence. Chris Halligan would also gain great metres for the boys, hitting the ball up hard with great support from Pat Gaudie and Craig Bottom. As field possession again looked good Stewart would again attempt to send the ball wide however it would hit the ground and roll out before connecting with any players.

The Bombala boys were forced to turn around and defend again.

The consistency from James Coates and Kurt Lomas as they interchanged from hooker and lock was a fantastic combination, both with great distributing abilities and water tight defence. Korie Elton and Keiran Wilson would make strong runs in attack, however as Bombala would hand possession back to Bega in good field position they would capitalise by spreading the ball from one side of the field to the other, treating it like a hot-potato they were able to cross for another four-pointer out wide taking the score to 10-4 with 12 minutes until half time. It would seem Bega would have good momentum and realised

The Bombala Blue Heelers Reserve Grade side with a big crowd of supporters. spreading the ball quickly worked, they soon tried it again and would score again on the opposite wing this time. The score was taken to 164. The Bombala boys were not ready to hang their heads though and just on half time Clay Clear would make a dominating run down the right hand side of the field, splitting the defensive line and able to offload to a steaming Ben Mooney. With Mooney looking up and realising he still had a lot of work to do as he neared closer to the sideline with still numerous defenders to beat, he showed absolute class by placing a perfect chip kick over the top, managing to stretch out and regather himself only to score right in front of the Bombala supporter base. The crowd went up in applause as Bombala would head to the sheds trailing by a mere eight points at 16-8 at half time.

From the kick off after half time Bombala would complete a great set of six getting the ball down their own end. After one of the Bombala players was hit high they would receive a penalty in good field possession. Mick Sullivan would take a great dart beating numerous defenders to gain good metres but as Stewart attempted to again get the ball wide to link up with a flying Sam Sten the ball would unfortunately go to ground.

Bega would then put in a good set, getting to the other end but eventually kicking the ball dead.

Jackson Standen and Sam Sten would lead the way by carting the ball up hard. Paul Gimbert and Nat Jennings were great injections of brute strength to also cart the ball up for Bombala; but as Bombala would opt to run on the fifth they would fall short from their own line.

Back to back penalties would then give Bega a great piggy-back out of their own half, eventually they would have the Bombala boys on the back foot, and would capitalise by steam rolling up the middle. Bega would score next pushing the win further from the grasp of the Bombala boys at 22-8 with only 16 minutes to go.

The next few sets saw Bega go close to scoring yet again but the scramble defence from Bombala was fantastic. Ben Mooney again would hit the line at pace making a great break, in support was Clay Stewart and Raymond Kading but the Bega defence would eventually wrap them up. Bombala would seem to have much more field possession this half but a credit to the Bega defence, they found it difficult to penetrate. It wasn’t until about four minutes left on the score board that Stewart would himself hit the line at pace able to muscle his way over for his own four-pointer. The score was taken to 22-14, but it was always going to be a tough task to gain eight points with such limited time left. Instead Bega would strategically slow down the play the ball and wind

down the clock, with the Bombala lads leaving nothing left in the tank they tried desperately to gain the ball back but it was Bega who would seal the deal with one last try with only seconds left on the clock. The final score would end as 28-14 to Bega.

A valiant effort given by all, the boys would show their respect by coming over to clap the crowd to thank them for all of their support throughout the year. The crowd would reciprocate by yelling loud cheers and applaud to show their respect for the stellar season these boys put in, representing their home town with absolute pride. Whilst it was not the result we had all wished for the boys could definitely hold their heads high and be proud of all they have achieved in such a short space of time. Excitement has already begun as talk of coming back bigger and better in each grade next year has already begun.

Bombala has definitely restamped their position as a competitive club in group 16 and the one to watch out for in 2017.

The Bombala & District RLFC would like to thank all of the supporters, volunteers and sponsors for their overwhelming efforts throughout the season. Without your contributions it would not have been possible to run such a successful year of footy in Bombala.

We welcome your ongoing support as we continue to build; getting bigger and better each year, aiming to capitalise on the fantastic foundations the last two years have established to bring Rugby League back to Bombala.

Tigers minor Cooma’s lady Tigers through to semifinal premiers The Cooma Tigers Div 2 men and the Cooma Lady Tigers have both successfully completed the 2016 season as minor premiers.

The boys have proven to be the dominant team in the Men’s State League Division 2 beating teams by as much as 14 points.

They won 14 from 18 games during the season scoring 94 goals and conceding 28 to finish with a massive goal difference of 66.

The boys lost their first semifinal on Saturday, going down to ANU 3-2 in extra time.

They have another shot at the grand final this weekend when they travel to the Canberra University Fields to play Belconnen in the prelimary final.

The match starts at 11am and they are calling on their fans to come and cheer them on.

The ladies were just as dominant in the Women’s State League winning 13 out of 15 games, scoring 83 goals and conceding 15 for a goal difference of 68.

The girls are coming off great form from the weekend recording a resounding 8-0 win over Majura on Saturday and a 4-0 win over the UC Pumas on Sunday.

The Lady Tigers have excellent depth to their squad with several players just as capable in attack and defence.

Their scoring potential is limitless, dominated by Miruna Moruz and Camilla McDonald up front and the defensive line has proven very hard to crack and is backed up by the wall Sam de Ruijter in goals.

The Lady Tigers travel to ANU this Sunday to take on Brindabella in the semifinals with kick off scheduled for 1pm.

Over the weekend the lady tigers backed up after an 8-0 win against Majura on Saturday to take on the UC Pumas on Sunday for the final match before semi finals.

The first half was pretty uneventful, plenty of back and forth action with both teams keen for the win.

With only 10 minutes remaining in the first half Camilla McDonald took a shot at goal, the UC keeper went to kick the ball out- missed it completely and the ball just trickled in the

bottom corner to give Cooma a 1-0 lead into half time.

In the second half, Cooma had stepped up their game with a goal from Libby Goggin in the opening minutes putting Cooma 2-0 up.

Cooma then had another opportunity with a corner kick with all the forwards ready for the header. Miruna Moruz took the corner herself and curled the ball in for a perfect solo effort making it 3-0.

Cooma’s final goal was an own goal after a

perfectly placed corner ball from Alicia Rampal, it deflected off the Pumas defence finishing the game at 4-0.

After 17 round games, the girls finished with an amazing 83 goals for the season!

The girls would like to thank all of the supporters who came and watched, both Saturday and Sunday. They would also like to welcome everyone to ANU this Sunday at 1pm where they will take on Brindabella in the semifinals knock-out round. Good luck girls!
